A spokesperson for former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has apologized for providing an inaccurate estimate of the value of jewelry discovered in Zapatero’s former office. Luis Arroyo initially assessed the jewelry’s worth between 30,000 and 50,000 euros. However, a subsequent appraisal indicates the items are valued at approximately 1.3 million euros. Arroyo acknowledged the discrepancy and stated Zapatero will address the issue before a judge. The circumstances surrounding the jewelry’s presence in the former Prime Minister’s office remain under investigation. This apology follows scrutiny regarding the significant difference between the initial valuation and the official appraisal. Zapatero is expected to provide further explanation as part of the ongoing legal proceedings.
