Tax Agency Joins Plus Ultra Case Over Zapatero Office Jewels

The Tax Agency, operating under the Ministry of Finance, has filed a formal request through the State Attorney’s Office to participate in a separate branch of the Plus Ultra investigation. Judge José Luis Calama suggested that the seized jewels could constitute a breach of public treasury laws, prompting the agency’s involvement.

The agency will focus on assessing the value of the jewels and any related smuggling activities. This move adds a fiscal dimension to the probe, potentially broadening the scope of the case.
