One of Spain's top criminal courts on Tuesday summoned Mariano Rajoy to testify as a witness in a major corruption trial, a first for the conservative prime minister.
"They have called him as witness," a spokesman for the National Court that deals with major corruption cases told AFP, adding that no date had been set yet for the hearing.
The so-called Gurtel trial centres on a vast bribery network allegedly involving former members of Rajoy's Popular Party (PP).
While Spain's 62-year-old leader is not accused of anything, his post as party chief since 2004 means he could provide valuable testimony
