Spain Replaces Ambassador to India Over Alleged Financial Favor Misuse
Spain is replacing its ambassador to India, Juan Antonio March Pujol, following allegations of financial favors from an Indian visa processing firm and misuse of public funds for cultural events. Reports indicate March used embassy funds and sought business support to promote international singers unrelated to Spain. The Spanish Foreign Ministry submitted a report to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office in late May, prompting the replacement process. March was appointed ambassador in June 2024 after a long diplomatic hiatus.
