The magistrate of the National Court, Antonio Piña, has requested the Prosecutor’s Office to express its opinion on a complaint filed by Hazte Oír against the former Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, for his involvement in crimes related to drug trafficking, money laundering, and belonging to a criminal organisation, in connection with his links to the former President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. The judge of the Central Investigative Court number 6 of the National Court has decided to initiate a procedure and refer it to the prosecutor, having noted elements in the complaint against Zapatero that suggest the possible commission of a crime.
