MADRID (Reuters) -Spain's Supreme Court ordered on Wednesday the provisional release from jail of a former senior official in the ruling Socialist Party, citing a reduced risk of evidence tampering amid an ongoing corruption investigation.
Santos Cerdan, who was remanded in custody in June, faces potential charges that include being part of a criminal organisation, bribery and influence-peddling over a scheme in which senior government-linked officials purportedly received kickbacks for awarding public works contracts.
