Scandal that paid Zapatero €4.1 million now touches his secretary
Police are investigating a network that allegedly transferred €4.1 million to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his daughters since they first made contact with the organisation. The case has taken a new turn with reports that the former Spanish prime minister's personal secretary also suspiciously increased her wealth: she paid cash for a flat in Madrid after collaborating with the network.
The network's links to Zapatero's circle
According to information revealed by El Debate, the network under investigation channelled multimillion-euro payments to the former prime minister's family. The total amounts to €4.1 million, a figure that has caught investigators' attention because of how quickly the transfers trinc the first contact. Now the focus has widened to the secretary, identified in the documents as a regular collaborator who allegedly acted as an intermediary in several transactions.
The purchase of the Madrid property, paid in cash, contrasts with a secretary's salary profile. Authorities are analysing whether the money came from the same network that benefited Zapatero and his daughters.
What remains unclear
The case file remains partially under seal, but the evidence points to an organised structure that may have operated for years. The question no one can yet answer is whether the former prime minister knew about the payments to his secretary or whether she acted on her own.
