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 disclosed payment has ignited discussion about whether the contracted work warranted such a sum. On the television program Espejo Público, businessman Marcos de Quinto characterized the figure as disproportionately high compared with typical pricing in the audiovisual sector.
According to his assessment, producing a similar video using stock footage or commercially available resources would cost significantly less than the amount cited in the investigation. He also argued that the tools required to create this type of content represent only a small fraction of the value of the contract under scrutiny.
The case is still undergoing judicial review, and the final ruling will ultimately establish whether any liabilities emerge from the events under examination.
