The judge points to the senior officials with whom Zapatero’s network contacted for the bailout
Former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is said to have used his influence within the government of Pedro Sánchez and that of Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro to conduct business, according to the judge of the National Court José Luis Calama, who has charged him. The question is: whom did he influence? The court order does not specify which senior government official or administration employee was influenced but, however, hints at meetings, encounters, contacts, or references regarding the moves that the former socialist leader and his network would have made to achieve the bailout of the airline Plus Ultra.
