  • Spain's National Court has charged two daughters of former Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero in an influence-peddling investigation.
  • The charges stem from the same probe into Zapatero himself, who denies all accusations.
  • The daughters allegedly managed a company linked to the network under investigation.

Spain's National Court has filed charges against the two daughters of former Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero as part of an ongoing influence-peddling investigation. The charges were brought at the request of the anti-corruption prosecutor's office.

The daughters are accused of managing a company named Whathefav, which authorities believe is connected to a network involved in illicit influence-peddling. The court is investigating allegations that Zapatero led a structured mechanism to illicitly gain influence and channel payments through various companies.

Zapatero, a prominent figure in the Spanish left, appeared before Judge José Luis Calama and denied all charges. The investigation centers on accusations that he orchestrated a scheme to improperly influence business dealings for financial gain. The case continues to unfold, with the daughters and Zapatero's secretary also facing charges.
