Overview

  • Prosecutor José Grinda has petitioned the Audiencia Nacional to press charges against Javier Pérez Dolset and 13 others, along with 17 companies, over an alleged €37.5 million diversion from Zed Worldwide.
  • The 95-page report alleges approximately €23.5 million was misappropriated directly and around €14 million was siphoned through falsified invoices.
  • Investigators contend that Pérez Dolset and associates created a complex web of shell companies to conceal fund transfers, including the acquisition of real estate assets.
  • Zed Worldwide and related firms received nearly €49 million in public subsidies and loans between 2011 and 2015, with the insolvency estate citing €28.4 million in unpaid debts plus €14.2 million in illicitly obtained grants.
  • Former PSOE operative Leire Díez is implicated for reportedly seeking compromising information on UCO officers and prosecutors during the scandal.
