Spain’s National Court placed former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero under formal investigation in May 2026 for alleged influence peddling, money laundering, and related offenses tied to the €53 million public bailout of Plus Ultra airline during the pandemic. Authorities conducted office searches and opened a parallel inquiry after discovering €1.3 million in jewelry, examining possible tax fraud and smuggling. Zapatero appeared before the judge in June 2026, denied wrongdoing, and the court declined to restrict his passport or impose pretrial detention, citing no flight risk. The probe remains at the investigation stage without formal charges or arrest as of late August 2026. Key upcoming factors include further hearings, potential indictment decisions, and any new evidence linking the case to Venezuelan interests or offshore structures, which could alter the trajectory toward detention.
