The Dutch citizen Simón Leendert Verhoeven, investigated in the Plus Ultra case for his loans to the airline through his gold and raw materials sales businesses, kept 2 gold bars, 12 luxury watches, and numerous jewels at his home in Mallorca, searched in October 2024. According to the summary of this case, Verhoeven, who currently has an international arrest warrant for extradition, acknowledged to the Geneva prosecutor the ownership of three companies (Allpa Wira Trading UK, Wailea Investment LTD, and Valerian Corporation) and that through them he had made loan agreements in favor.

The ruling by José Luis Calama against former president Zapatero is forceful enough that, at least, his supporters' message should be only what Justice itself dictates: to wait for the investigation to prove the facts imputed to him. That one is innocent until proven otherwise. The public defense by Patxi López and Mercedes Milá is blind faith and putting their hand in the fire for a figure who is everything among socialists. The fall of a totem, a moral compass, and all those cheesy and grandiloquent expressions, which are, on the other hand, true.
