José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero faces an ongoing Audiencia Nacional investigation in the Caso Plus Ultra for alleged influence peddling, criminal organization, money laundering, and related offenses tied to the 2021 €53 million state bailout of the airline. The probe, which began intensifying in late 2025 and led to his formal imputation in May 2026, has expanded to include bank records of his family and associates, a 200,000-euro payment linked to Bolivia, and €1.3 million in seized jewelry prompting separate tax and smuggling inquiries. As of mid-September 2026, the judge has rejected defense appeals to limit financial probes while declining precautionary measures such as passport seizure or detention following Zapatero’s voluntary appearances and denials of wrongdoing. Spanish judicial timelines for complex corruption cases typically involve extended instruction phases before any potential arrest, with trader consensus reflecting this procedural reality and the absence of imminent custodial action.
