Delcy Rodríguez facilitated a 'big score' for Zapatero's payer in the Virgin Islands with Venezuelan gold

The investigation into José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's alleged involvement in a scheme to recover Venezuelan gold reveals connections to Delcy Rodríguez and a contract with Bandes. Julio Martínez confirmed a deal that promised him an 8.75% commission for recovering gold in the UAE, linked to a significant fund. Despite the contract, Martínez claims he received no payment as the gold was never recovered. He also implicated Zapatero in the Plus Ultra case, stating that Zapatero had prior knowledge of a €53 million state aid approval, which he communicated to airline executives. Martínez acted as an intermediary between Zapatero and Plus Ultra, initially seeking €15 million in aid, which later increased to €53 million due to changing financial conditions.
