  "account": "Former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has submitted a new document to the court, according to <source 20b2a0e6-bfe>, explaining to the judge handling the Plus Ultra case that several of the jewels found during the registration at his desk in May were a gift from Saudi Arabia. Zapatero states that the collection of pieces came from a \"gift\" from King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who passed away in 2015, when he lived in the Palace of La Moncloa. The lawyer for Zapatero has requested cooperation from the Saudi monarchy to substantiate his account, stating that the pieces \"were a strictly personal attention, accepted with deference and as a sign of gratitude and respect from my representative towards the Saudi monarch.\"",
