Zapatero Under Fire Over Jewelry

Former Spanish PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is under fresh scrutiny after luxury jewelry was discovered in his office, sparking probes into potential tax evasion or smuggling — adding to mounting corruption pressure on Spain’s current government. Already facing allegations of leading a lobbying ring that profited from public officials, Zapatero denies wrongdoing and plans to address the jewelry matter directly with the judge. He’s set to testify in the main corruption case next month, which centers on a suspected money-laundering scheme tied to Plus Ultra, the airline that received a state bailout in 2021.
