Judge José Luis Calama has ordered the blocking of former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's bank accounts up to 490,780 euros, matching payments from Análisis Relevante in the Plus Ultra bailout investigation.
The National Court judge issued this measure in a procedural order last Wednesday. Zapatero faces charges including criminal organization, documentary falsification and influence peddling tied to the 53-million-euro rescue of the airline during the pandemic. He is summoned to testify on June 2. The magistrate also ordered searches at Zapatero's office and companies linked to his daughters. The former president denies any improper intervention with public authorities.
