NewzFormer Plus Ultra CEO Roberto Roselli has testified before Judge Calama regarding the airline's state-funded rescue. During his statement, Roselli alleged that a commission was paid to the so-called 'Zapatero Group,' referring to associates of the former Spanish president. He further claimed that a close aide to the former president had provided prior confirmation that the government would approve the financial bailout.
Beyond the allegations of improper payments, Roselli’s testimony highlighted concerns regarding the oversight of the airline’s financial health. He suggested that the State Industrial Participation Company (SEPI) failed to maintain adequate control over the company's situation during the rescue process, raising questions about the transparency and management of the government-funded support.
