On 24 May 2018, several Spanish politicians and business-people, including Correa, his lieutenant Pablo Crespo, and former Spanish treasurer Luis Bárcenas, were convicted in the Gürtel case. Correa was sentenced to 51 years in prison while Crespo was jailed for 37 years and six months. Bárcenas, a close ally of Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, received a 33-year sentence and a fine of €44m. Bárcenas's wife, Rosalía Iglesias, was jailed for 15 years, and Correa's ex-wife, Carmen Rodríguez Quijano, for 14 years and eight months. It was also ruled that the ruling People's Party had taken part in the kickback scheme since 1989. Of the 37 individuals charged, 29 were convicted while 8 were acquitted. Following this, on 1 June, Prime Minister Rajoy was ousted by a vote of no confidence.
