The court will address on Friday whether to maintain its involvement in the Zapatero case in Bolivia.

The Audiencia Nacional in Madrid is scheduled to examine on Friday whether to maintain or expand an ongoing legal investigation concerning former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Specifically, the court will review if the scope of the inquiry encompasses a payment of 200,000 euros allegedly received by Zapatero from the Peruvian group Gloria.

The payment was reportedly made for Zapatero's presumed intermediation with authorities in Bolivia. This upcoming judicial session represents a key procedural step in determining the parameters of the investigation into the former leader's business and political dealings.
