Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has responded to being implicated in the ‘Plus Ultra’ case, firmly denying any discussions regarding the state-owned company SEPI or government affairs. He stated he did not communicate with anyone concerning these matters. Zapatero also addressed the seizure of jewelry found in his office, claiming they were personal gifts with no intended use or destination. The Socialist Party (PSOE) has called for Zapatero to provide further explanations to address the arising doubts surrounding the investigation. This comes after he was formally implicated in the case, prompting the need for clarification regarding his involvement. The investigation centers on alleged undue influence and irregular dealings related to the airline Plus Ultra and potential misuse of public funds. Zapatero has refrained from commenting on the defense strategy of businessman Julio Martínez, central to the case.
