19.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Zapatero Was Indicted
⌨
The day was overwhelmingly dominated by the indictment of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in the Plus Ultra case. Early morning headlines from El País, El Mundo, and others reported that the Audiencia Nacional had charged him with money laundering, influence peddling, and criminal organization. By mid-morning, details emerged that a judge accused Zapatero of leading a 'structured' influence-peddling network and ordering the creation of a Dubai company to receive commissions. Leaked conversations published by eldiario.es and La Vanguardia in the afternoon showed alleged references to 'our friend Zapatero behind it.' The story overshadowed the Andalusia election aftermath and other news like Jonathan Andic's arrest for his father's death. PSOE called for calm, while PP demanded Sánchez's explanation.
