Overview
- Court records and a written filing by ex‑CEO Roberto Rosselli show payments routed to three intermediary companies totaling roughly €458,417, with €249,000 to Análisis Relevante, €98,617.53 to Voli Analítica SL and €110,799.47 to IOT Domotic Europe SL.
- On October 20, 2026, paymaster Julio Martínez Martínez told Judge José Luis Calama that he regularly informed former prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero about Plus Ultra’s requests but said he did not know what concrete steps Zapatero or others took with SEPI.
- Magistrate Calama highlighted that the invoice descriptions from the intermediary firms are vague and wrote that those uncertain concepts allow an inference the payments were a commission tied to closing the public loan.
- Martínez also testified that Plus Ultra executives, especially president Julio Martínez Sola, spoke with Análisis Relevante frequently to update them on financing moves after banks such as La Caixa and Banco Santander declined to provide funding.
- The Audiencia Nacional remains in the instruction phase, investigators are assessing possible influence‑peddling and illicit commissions, and all allegations remain unproven while subjects keep the presumption of innocence.
