Madrid, February 12 (RHC)-- Spanish police have stormed the houses and offices of a former top official and a corporate executive as part of an investigation into high-level corruption.

The police on Thursday searched the locations associated with Beltran Gutierrez, a former official with acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's center-right Popular Party (PP), and Javier Lopez, a board member of construction company OHL.

The party and the firm have been accused of resorting to bribery and money laundering to secure public works contracts worth a reported EUR 250 million (USD 282 million).
