**José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero remains under judicial investigation in Spain’s Audiencia Nacional for alleged influence peddling, criminal organization, and document forgery tied to the 2021 Plus Ultra airline bailout, plus separate lines involving Bolivia-related payments and undeclared jewelry valued at over €1.3 million.** As of mid-September 2026 the case stays in the instrucción phase before Judge José Luis Calama, with Zapatero having testified in June, no precautionary detention imposed, and his defense actively challenging evidence and financial probes. Spanish courts require a completed trial and conviction before any prison sentence can be issued, and former prime ministers have historically faced low conviction rates on such charges. Traders assign 96.4% probability to “No” because the process has not advanced to formal accusation, trial, or verdict, leaving multiple procedural and evidentiary hurdles. Late-stage developments such as new indictments, trial scheduling, or appellate outcomes could still shift the market.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is sentenced to any time in jail/prison for any charges, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
This market will remain open through December 31, 2026, or until the specified individual is sentenced to time in jail/prison, regardless of any initial sentencing that does not include prison. Any sentencing will qualify, regardless of subsequent appeals or changes to the sentence.
Civil lawsuits, regulatory actions, administrative complaints, investigations without charges, internal employment actions, or public accusations without the filing of criminal charges will not qualify, even if widely reported or described colloquially as “charges.”
If at any point the investigation or any resulting criminal case against the specified individual formally ends without any possibility of a jail/prison sentence being issued, including due to no charges being filed, charges being dismissed, an acquittal, or any other situation in which no judgment is rendered or will be rendered by the court, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the relevant government and law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero remains under judicial investigation in Spain’s Audiencia Nacional for alleged influence peddling, criminal organization, and document forgery tied to the 2021 Plus Ultra airline bailout, plus separate lines involving Bolivia-related payments and undeclared jewelry valued at over €1.3 million.** As of mid-September 2026 the case stays in the instrucción phase before Judge José Luis Calama, with Zapatero having testified in June, no precautionary detention imposed, and his defense actively challenging evidence and financial probes.
