Did ex-Spanish PM father French minister''s child?

London, Dec 18 : Former Prime Minister of Spain Jose Maria Aznar may have fathered the child of the French Justice Minister, Rachida Dati, who is eight months pregnant, according to rumours.

Although Dati, daughter of a Moroccan immigrant, has not revealed who the father is, but El Pais, the most widely-circulated daily newspaper in Spain, said that Moroccan spies had investigated and were pointing to Aznar.

Aznar has strongly denied the allegation, reports the Independent.

Recently, a Madrid judge ordered the TV station Telecinco to pay Aznar 240,000 euros in damages for reporting in 2007 that Aznar and his wife, Ana Botella, were to separate because of a supposed infidelity by the famously uncharismatic Aznar.

The former leader and Botella, a Madrid councillor, denied the report and threatened legal action against those who repeated the "false" and "degrading" accusation.
