Former IMF chief Rodrigo Rato sentenced to four-and-a-half year imprisonment by Spanish SC

Spain's Supreme Court on Wednesday confirmed a four-and-a-half year jail sentence for former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Rodrigo Rato, a judicial source said.

Rato was sentenced in 2017 by Spain's High Court for misusing company credit cards for personal expenses while he worked at lender Bankia.
