A Spanish court has indicted former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero on charges of leading a corruption network involving influence peddling connected to a €53 million government rescue of Plus Ultra airline during the pandemic. The judge's 88-page order cites intercepted communications, suspicious payments to companies linked to Zapatero and his daughters totaling over €900,000, and alleged coordination with Venezuelan and foreign actors, though critics note the indictment draws strong conclusions without always providing direct evidentiary support.

Spain's National Court has formally indicted former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero on corruption charges including influence peddling and criminal organization, marking the first time a democratically elected Spanish president has been summoned as an investigated defendant. The indictment, issued by Judge José Luis Calama, has sent shockwaves through the Socialist Party and the current Sánchez government, which depends on fragile parliamentary majorities. While the government argues the court order lacks documentary evidence to support its accusations, opposition forces are weighing whether the scandal provides an opening to challenge Sánchez through a no-confidence motion scheduled around Zapatero's June 2 court appearance.
