Spain says Eurogroup may block Greek loan if officials not granted immunity
The Eurogroup may block an 8.5-billion-euro credit lifeline to Greece if the country does not grant immunity to privatization agency officials from Spain, Italy and Slovakia, Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said on Friday.
In 2015, a Greek prosecutor charged three officials at the country's privatization agency over a sale and lease-back deal of 28 state-owned buildings.
"If there's not a definitive solution for the situation of these three experts, the Eurogroup will block the payment," de Guindos said in Luxemburg. [Reuters]
