  "account": "Former Spanish Prime Ministers José María Aznar and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero received gifts from Libyan leader Muamar El Gadafi, including a horse and a saddle. Zapatero's gifts are now at the centre of controversy, with a judge requesting a complete inventory after finding jewellery in a safe during an investigation into the Plus Ultra case. Zapatero attributes the jewellery to a personal gift from Saudi monarch Abdalá Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, but the official register of gifts received by 21st-century former presidents does not record it. The register does show a range of luxury items and unusual gifts.",
