Zapatero's letter to Saudi Arabia to "confirm" his version of the jewels: "We received a strictly personal gift"
La misiva, a la que tuvo acceso EL PAÍS, se fecha un día antes de la declaración del expresidente en la Audiencia Nacional
José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, former Spanish Prime Minister, has provided the National Court with a copy of a letter he sent to the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia on June 16. In the letter, he requests confirmation that the seized jewelry was a gift he received in 2007 from the late Saudi monarch Abdalá Bin Abdulaziz al Saud, who died in 2015. The letter was sent a day before Zapatero's statement to the investigating judge José Luis Calama.
