SOCIALIST GRIFT: Spanish Court Opens ANOTHER Probe of Former Prime Minister Zapatero After Jewelry Was Found During Search of His House

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero – Wiki Commons Corruption scandals keep popping up in Socialist Spain. While leftist Pope Leo XIV spent time in Spain, advocating for illegal migrants and treating disgraced Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez like a ‘pop star’, the Spanish Justice continues to demolish the ruling Socialist party with multiple corruption investigations and prosecutions. Today (12), it arose that a Spanish High Court judge, part of the investigation of former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero for suspected corruption, has ​opened a separate probe over expensive jewelry found during ‌a search of the politician’s office. BREAKING: Spain’s top criminal court has opened a second criminal probe into former PM José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero – this time for alleged smuggling and tax fraud over €1.3M in jewellery found in his office.

Investigating judge Jose Luis Calama said the jewelry items ​seized during the May 19 search, provisionally valued at about €1.3 million ($1.5 million), currently lack documented proof of origin. He said the possession of ​high-value assets without clear fiscal traceability could indicate ​possible tax evasion or smuggling offences, citing the absence of customs ‌documents ⁠or evidence that import duties had been paid.” “Zapatero is due to testify on ​June 17 and June 18 in the corruption ​case, ⁠which centers on an influence-peddling and money-laundering network that he allegedly led. The network is suspected of having profited from ⁠lobbying ​public authorities on behalf of ​third parties – mainly Spanish airline Plus Ultra, which received a state bailout ​in 2021.” How long will Sanchez escape the reckoning of his family and government’s corruption? – AI-Generated Image by Grok Read: PM Sánchez, His Family and His Spanish Socialists on the Brink as NINE Corruption Cases Are Targeting Them Read more: SHOCK VIDEO: Hundreds of African Men Try to Storm the Border Between Morocco and the Spanish Enclave of Ceuta /*!
