The Spanish Senate has compelled the appearance of a Plus Ultra lobbyist, allegedly a payer of Zapatero, after the Ministry of Interior claimed it could not locate him.

Former Spanish President Zapatero has justified the majority of his income from the Plus Ultra lobbyist as being for 'oral reports' to undisclosed clients, admitting he knew of Plus Ultra's connection to his payer but denying irregularities.

Former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is scheduled to appear before the Senate, summoned by the Popular Party during an election campaign, to be questioned about the rescue of airline Plus Ultra.

Spain's PP party is requesting a fiscal investigation into payments received by former President Zapatero in the 'Plus Ultra case'. The 450,000 euros he reportedly received from Análisis Relevante are said to closely match the 1% premium Julio Martínez expected for securing the airline's rescue.

Julio Martínez Sola, president of Plus Ultra, affirmed he had 'no doubt' about qualifying for the rescue but denied 'preferential treatment and undue interference,' refusing to testify in the Senate about the company that paid Zapatero.

The Spanish government has publicly supported former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero following controversial payments he received from a lobbyist connected to Plus Ultra. The government spokesperson defended Zapatero against what she called "unfounded accusations and excessive attacks."

A judge has decided to send the investigation into the rescue of the Plus Ultra airline back to Spain's National Court due to its complexity and international ramifications.

Former Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero and his associate reportedly traveled to Venezuela on Maduro regime planes, while a lobbyist linked to the 'Plus Ultra' case allegedly paid 110,000 euros annually to the Zapatero family for advisory services.

The Spanish National Court has taken over the investigation into the controversial rescue of the Plus Ultra airline, with Judge Calama accepting the case after a Madrid court recused itself.

Former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has vehemently denied any involvement in the rescue of Plus Ultra, calling accusations of a 'tip-off' to Julio Martínez 'perverse and shameful.'

Spanish police (UDEF) are conducting investigations in France to uncover the international branches of a complex money laundering network, with the Plus Ultra company at its core.

A judge has decided to transfer the Plus Ultra case to the Audiencia Nacional, citing a 'new dimension' to the investigation, including suspicions of money laundering and an 'organized criminal organization' benefiting from the airline's rescue.
