The Court approves investigating Zapatero for alleged influence peddling in Bolivia

The National Court has confirmed the investigation into former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero regarding a payment of 200,000 euros from the Peruvian company Gloria. This payment allegedly relates to his attempts to mediate with Bolivian authorities over an outstanding compensation. The court dismissed Zapatero's defense request to exclude a police report that implicated him in influencing litigation involving Gloria and Bolivia's public administration. Evidence from intercepted communications suggested a potential influence trafficking offense.
