La Fiscalía ve una presunta malversación de Zapatero por no dar las joyas a Patrimonio y pide investigar los regalos recibidos
La Fiscalía Anticorrupción ha apuntado que el expresidente del Gobierno José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero pudo haber cometido un presunto delito de malversación de caudales públicos con penas de prisión al aceptar joyas "de muy significativo valor" por parte de Arabia Saudí y no haberlas entregado a Patrimonio del Estado, "como sí hizo con otros regalos al finalizar su presidencia".

Spain's Anti-Corruption Prosecution Office has alleged that former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero may have committed a crime of public money misappropriation for accepting jewelry from Saudi Arabia without returning it to the state treasury, as he did with other gifts upon leaving office. According to the office's court filing, Zapatero's list of gifts during his time in office does not include the jewelry found in his office, which was estimated to be worth 1.3 million euros.
The office claims that Zapatero attributed the jewelry to a Saudi deal and did not return it to the state treasury alongside other gifts. The filing indicates that Zapatero admitted to accepting the jewelry as a gift during his presidency, but failed to hand it over to the state treasury, as he did with other gifts. This could potentially make his actions a crime of public money misappropriation, the office argues.
