**Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero remains under preliminary judicial investigation at the Audiencia Nacional without any custodial measures or arrest as of late August 2026.** The probe, opened in May 2026 by Judge José Luis Calama, centers on alleged influence peddling, criminal organization, document forgery, and related offenses tied to the 2021 €53 million public bailout of airline Plus Ultra and financial flows involving Venezuelan-linked entities. Raids uncovered jewelry valued at over €1.3 million, prompting separate tax and smuggling inquiries. Zapatero testified in June, after which the judge upheld the imputation but declined requests to seize his passport or impose reporting requirements. Spanish corruption cases of this scale typically advance slowly through the instruction phase over multiple years, frequently resulting in dismissals, acquittals, or non-custodial outcomes. Trader consensus in related prediction markets reflects this timeline and absence of imminent detention signals, pricing arrest by year-end at low single-digit to low-teens implied probabilities while noting potential shifts from new evidence or judicial rulings.
