Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero faces a preliminary criminal investigation opened in May 2026 by the Audiencia Nacional over alleged influence peddling, criminal organization membership, and related offenses tied to the 2021 Plus Ultra airline bailout. He has denied all wrongdoing and remains unconvicted, with his initial testimony scheduled for early June. No trial date has been set, and Spanish judicial processes for such high-profile cases typically involve extended proceedings, appeals, and strict evidentiary thresholds before any prison sentence. Historical patterns show former heads of government rarely receive custodial penalties in influence-peddling matters, supporting trader expectations that a conviction leading to imprisonment remains improbable.
