  "account": "Seven weeks ago, the Audiencia Nacional received three letters that shook the defense of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. In two of them, former Plus Ultra executives Julio Martínez Sola and Roberto Roselli implicated the ex-leader in efforts to secure a 53 million euro loan for the airline following the pandemic. Both insisted that Zapatero was more than just an external consultant for the consultancy Análisis Relevante and pointed out that Zapatero made his \"trusted person\" (referring to businessman Julio Martínez Martínez) available for all their management efforts. However, they acknowledged they had \"no verifiable evidence\" of the actions Zapatero took to \"influence or favor\" the company. On Monday and Tuesday, Judge José Luis Calama, who oversees the case, will interrogate them to corroborate their version.",
