Manuel Moix is a Spanish lawyer. After serving as a public prosecutor in the Community of Madrid, he was appointed Spain's "top anti-corruption prosecutor" from February 2017. [1] He resigned on 1 June 2017, after admitting he owned 25% of a Panamanian offshore company. [2] [3]
Moix and his siblings owned an offshore company in Panama, which was apparently inherited from their parents. [3] The company, Duchesse Financial Overseas, was set up in 1988, and in 1990 bought a luxury villa near Madrid worth approximately €550,000. [4]
Moix also received criticism for other issues. He is alleged to have attempted to interfere in corruption investigations, including the "Lezo Case", involving the governing People's Party. [2]
