Jewellery, watches and cash in golf bags seized in Zapatero case in Spain

Spain's National Police found jewellery and watches in the safe in former prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's office during a search ordered by the National Court as part of the Plus Ultra case. Officers from the UDEF financial crimes unit went to the office, located opposite PSOE headquarters on Ferraz Street, accompanied by the Technical Intervention Operations Group (GOIT), specialised in opening safes and hidden access points.

During the inspection of the office, hard drives, folders and various documents were also seized. Inside the safe they found necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and several watches, some of them bearing inscriptions. The former prime minister's secretary told officers that the jewellery came from an inheritance received by Zapatero's wife.
