Judge places two Venezuelan brothers among the main payers to Zapatero for their "illicit influences"

A Spanish judge has identified two Venezuelan brothers, the Amaro Chacón siblings, as major contributors to former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his associates in exchange for illicit influence. The judge equates their company, Inteligencia Prospectiva, with other entities like Plus Ultra and Softgestor, which were previously linked to Zapatero’s financial dealings. The investigation suggests these companies provided financial support to Zapatero through simulated advisory contracts. The court has authorized access to over sixty bank accounts tied to Zapatero, his family, and related businesses. The Amaro Chacóns’ financial activities appear inconsistent with their declared business operations, suggesting funds flowed into networks connected to Zapatero. These transactions include significant sums transferred to Zapatero’s daughters' marketing firm and another entity where Zapatero holds an advisory role.
