The relationship between Plus Ultra and Julio Martínez Martínez, the friend and alleged frontman of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, was very close and was further strengthened thanks to various contracts, which have led to the indictment of the former Prime Minister. On December 11, 2025, the judicial police searched Martínez’s homes. They found 268,000 euros in cash hidden in various places such as a golf cart. They also found several contracts that have proven very revealing for the investigation.

The DelcyGate, as the meeting on January 20, 2020, at Barajas airport between the former Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos and the now acting president of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez – who was banned from the Schengen area by the European Union – is known, has landed in the Plus Ultra Case file. The commissioner in charge of the Madrid airport on the night of the murky stopover, Jesús María Gómez Martín, was able to provide “favors,” such as allegedly avoiding customs controls for the investigated Venezuelan magnates, in exchange for “rewards.”
