The ongoing preliminary investigation into José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero at Spain’s Audiencia Nacional, centered on alleged influence peddling, criminal organization, and document forgery tied to the 2021 Plus Ultra airline bailout plus separate tax and smuggling probes over undeclared jewelry, remains in the instruction phase with no oral trial opened or conviction secured as of mid-September 2026. Spanish judicial timelines for complex corruption cases routinely extend years beyond initial charges, frequently producing dismissals, acquittals, suspended sentences, or non-custodial outcomes even when proceedings advance. The judge has rejected precautionary measures such as detention or passport withdrawal, and recent rulings have upheld expanded financial inquiries without accelerating resolution. Traders’ 96.7 percent consensus on no prison sentence by the December 31, 2026 deadline reflects these procedural realities. Late evidentiary shifts, plea arrangements, or expedited rulings could still intervene, though none appear imminent.
