Fostul premier spaniol, Zapatero, spune că bijuteriile de 1,5 milioane de dolari, confiscate, erau un „cadou din curtoazie”

Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero stated that jewelry worth 1.3 million euros, confiscated by police, was a gift and not intended for financial gain. He is under investigation for influence peddling, which he denies. The case is part of broader corruption scandals affecting his party, the Socialist Party. Zapatero claims the jewelry has no connection to his political activities and will be explained in court. He acknowledged that he might have made a different decision regarding accepting the gift. The opposition party criticized his comments, stating he has not addressed public concerns.
