**The investigation into former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero centers on allegations of influence peddling, criminal organization, document forgery, and related offenses tied to the 2021 €53 million state bailout of airline Plus Ultra.** A National Court judge formally placed him under investigation in May 2026, marking the first such case against a former head of government since Spain’s democratic transition, and expanded the probe in June to include his daughters and secretary after discovering approximately €1.3 million in jewelry during an office search. Zapatero testified in mid-June, denying any role in securing the bailout or improper payments linked to Venezuelan-connected interests, while the judge declined to impose passport restrictions or other pretrial detention measures. The case remains in the preliminary investigation phase with no trial date set; complex Spanish corruption proceedings often extend for years and frequently result in dismissals, acquittals, or non-custodial outcomes. Trader sentiment on near-term arrest reflects the absence of restrictive measures to date and the slow pace of judicial proceedings.
