24.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Zapatero Was Placed at the Cusp of the Network
⌨
The Zapatero case continued to dominate the news cycle throughout May 24. In the morning, new UDEF reports placed Zapatero at the 'cusp' of the network, identifying Julio Martínez as his front man and revealing that the Zapateros canceled a mortgage in 11 months with a €498,000 transfer. By early afternoon, El País reported a Miami account linked to a shell company in the Virgin Islands, and 20minutos attributed €4 million in payments to Zapatero and his daughters. Later, RTVE reported that Plus Ultra executives sought Zapatero's help due to his ties to Sánchez and Maduro. A poll showed 74.3% of Spaniards, including most PSOE voters, demand early elections. Meanwhile, US and Iran neared a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, receiving less coverage.
