The Zapatero case dominated the day with new police findings. In the morning, UDEF reports placed his home at the center of sensitive instructions and revealed a safe containing jewelry, watches, hard drives, and cash. By early afternoon, multiple outlets (El Mundo, El Español, El Confidencial, 20minutos) highlighted the discovery of gold bars and a stash of jewels in his Ferraz office safe. Later, El País reported the judge ordered access to Zapatero's and his daughters' emails since 2020. Libertad Digital noted an international arrest warrant for Rodolfo Reyes, linked to gold bars. Meanwhile, the Begoña Gómez case saw a split: progressive outlets (Público, eldiario.es) reported UCO found no opaque income, while conservative outlets (Libertad Digital, El Español) emphasized her alleged direct involvement in irregular hiring.
