The judge of the National Court José Luis Calama has lifted this Tuesday the secrecy of the proceedings of the Plus Ultra case, in which he is investigating, among others, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, once the search of the official office of the former prime minister began this morning.
The PP has reacted immediately after it became known that the former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has been charged with the alleged crimes of criminal organization, influence peddling, and forgery in the so-called Plus Ultra case. Miguel Tellado, secretary general of the Popular Party, has stated that this fact “is of extreme seriousness” and has linked Pedro Sánchez to the case.
Already last week, when rumors began to circulate about the existence of a possible judicial investigation into José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the Moncloa claimed that “there is no evidence of the accusations” against the former Prime Minister that could incriminate him in the case of the bailout of the airline Plus Ultra. In the Government, moreover, they have always maintained that there was no irregularity in the aid granted to this airline after the coronavirus pandemic crisis. “Zero concern,” they cut off at the Moncloa.

For some time now, the police, including the Mossos d’Esquadra, have been deciphering, analyzing, and interpreting all the data that can be extracted from an incident. This is what is called “police intelligence,” which is recorded in reports prepared by analysts and helps to understand objectively what is happening. This information is taken very much into account in decision-making or in the design of prevention policies. Every firearm incident is dissected, literally. And some data from that analysis show the real proportions of a problem that concerns the population and security officials. In Catalonia, an average of two shootings occur per week.
She no longer has her mother-in-law as a neighbor nor problems with the tax authorities. On the contrary, the tax authorities have a big problem with her, not to mention her ex-mother-in-law… Shakira has completely risen from her ashes. She faced all her problems, which came at the same time, and has come out victorious…
From reading Shakira’s sentence, it can be inferred that the singer was somewhat like a tax stateless person in 2011. The ruling of the Court holds that it has not been proven that she was a resident in Spain for 183 days for tax purposes, but her defense also did not claim that she was in another jurisdiction during those days. “She had a tax certificate at her home in the Bahamas. But the truth is that she is not a resident for 183 days anywhere because she is actually on an international tour,” says her lawyer, José Luis Prada.
