The daughters of former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero are set to testify as suspects in the so-called Plus Ultra case after the judge overseeing the investigation decided to include them in the proceedings due to the activities of their company, Whathefav SL. According to court documents, the company allegedly received funds from businesses linked to the network under investigation.
The inquiry asserts that one of the companies linked to the case, Inteligencia Prospectiva, transferred a notably large sum for creating a video shorter than one minute, and the disclosed details suggest the payment reached roughly €10,000 for every second of the completed audiovisual piece.
The reported payment has sparked debate over the value of the contracted work. During the television program Espejo Público, businessman Marcos de Quinto described the amount as excessive when compared with standard rates in the audiovisual industry.
According to his evaluation, crafting a comparable video with stock footage or widely accessible commercial assets would require far less investment than the figure referenced in the investigation, and he added that the tools needed to produce such material account for only a minor portion of the contract’s stated value.
The case remains under judicial investigation, and the outcome of the legal proceedings will determine whether any responsibilities arise from the facts being examined.
