Spain’s National Court investigation into former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, opened in May 2026, centers on alleged influence peddling, criminal organization, and document forgery tied to the 2021 €53 million Plus Ultra airline bailout, with additional scrutiny over jewelry and international payments. Zapatero has appeared voluntarily for questioning, denied all involvement, and faces no precautionary measures such as passport restrictions or detention orders. Recent September 2026 developments include further testimony from airline executives and judicial rejection of defense appeals to limit financial probes into Zapatero and family accounts. The case remains in the preliminary instruction phase with no trial date set, consistent with extended timelines for complex Spanish corruption matters and trader consensus reflecting low near-term arrest likelihood absent new evidence establishing flight risk or immediate detention grounds.
