Spain’s National Court opened a formal investigation on May 19, 2026, into former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for alleged influence peddling, money laundering, and related offenses tied to the 2021 Plus Ultra airline bailout. Authorities conducted office searches and summoned him to testify on June 2 as the first post-transition former head of government to face such proceedings, but no arrest warrant has been issued. Zapatero is cooperating with the Audiencia Nacional, and Spanish judicial practice in complex financial cases typically relies on summons rather than detention for compliant investigated parties. With the June 30 resolution window closing and no reported escalation in enforcement, trader consensus reflects the limited procedural path to arrest within the remaining timeframe.
