Former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero testified before Judge Calama regarding a financial bailout involving the airline Plus Ultra. He firmly denied exerting any influence over the rescue operation. During the questioning, Zapatero declined to provide details concerning the origin of “certain jewels,” as referenced by the judge. The specifics of these jewels and their relevance to the case remain unclear. The testimony forms part of an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the government’s financial assistance to Plus Ultra. Further details of the hearing have not yet been released, but the former president’s denial is a key development in the inquiry. The judge’s focus on the jewels suggests a potential line of questioning regarding undisclosed assets or potential conflicts of interest.
