Zapatero faces an ongoing judicial investigation opened in May 2026 into alleged influence peddling, money laundering, tax fraud, and smuggling tied to a 2021 airline bailout and luxury jewelry discovered in a police search. He testified before the National Court judge in June and maintains his innocence, with the probe also expanding to associates. No formal charges have advanced to trial, let alone conviction or sentencing. In Spain’s legal system, such cases involving former prime ministers typically involve lengthy procedural stages, appeals, and high evidentiary thresholds before any prison term could result. The 91.5% “No” pricing reflects trader assessment that these barriers make an actual sentence improbable within foreseeable resolution windows.
