Former Spanish PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is under fire over a million-euro jewelry haul seized in an influence-peddling probe, though he insists the gifts were personal and never meant for profit. The ex-leader, who served from 2004 to 2011, says the jewels were a family heirloom and denies any wrongdoing, vowing full cooperation with the courts. He admits he might have declined the gift today but stands by his past actions. The investigation also targets his alleged role in securing state support for Plus Ultra, which he denies. Opposition parties scoff at his explanations, adding fuel to Spain’s mounting corruption crisis as Zapatero insists he’s innocent and ready to face justice.
