  "account": "Four months after discovering jewels during a police search of former Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's office, almost three months after the deadline he set before Judge José Luis Calama, Zapatero has revealed their origin. The set of jewelry, which includes rubies, emeralds and sapphires and was valued at 1.3 million euros by an expert report commissioned to Ansorena, was, according to Zapatero, \"a personal gift as a token of appreciation from the then King of Saudi Arabia, Abdalá Bin Abdulaziz al Saud, who gave it to him in Madrid, in his family home located in the Palacio de La Moncloa in June 2007, when he was head of government.\" The story continues with the legal and ethical implications of Zapatero's explanations to the magistrate of the National Audiencia in an attempt to bury the separate file on the jewels.",
