Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero faces ongoing Audiencia Nacional investigations opened in May 2026 into alleged influence-peddling and money laundering tied to the 2021 €53 million Plus Ultra airline bailout, with a separate June probe examining possible tax fraud and smuggling after police recovered €1.3 million in jewelry from his office. He testified in June, denied all involvement, and the court rejected prosecution requests for precautionary measures including passport seizure or provisional detention. No arrest or detention has occurred despite office searches and formal charges of influence peddling, money laundering, and related offenses. Trader consensus assigns very low probability to imminent arrest because Spanish judicial procedures prioritize investigation and hearings before custody in such cases, with no scheduled events or new rulings indicating escalation in the near term.
