The judge rejects Zapatero's petition to declare the "general nullity" of the 'Plus Ultra case'
Desestima la queja del exlíder socialista al considerar que no se han vulnerado sus derechos
Judge José Luis Calama of the Audiencia Nacional has rejected a petition by former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to declare the Plus Ultra case null and void. The judge's ruling, issued on Friday, dismisses Zapatero's argument that the case against him for alleged influence peddling to secure a public bailout for the airline breaches his rights. Zapatero's defense can still appeal to the Sala de lo Penal to overturn the judge's decision.
