The daughters of former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero have been called to testify as suspects in the so-called Plus Ultra case, after the judge leading the investigation opted to bring them into the proceedings because of the actions of their company, Whathefav SL. Court filings indicate that the company is believed to have obtained funds from businesses connected to the network currently under scrutiny.
The inquiry asserts that one of the companies linked to the case, Inteligencia Prospectiva, transferred a notably large sum for creating a video shorter than one minute, and the disclosed details suggest the payment reached roughly €10,000 for every second of the completed audiovisual piece.
The reported payment has sparked debate over the value of the contracted work. During the television program Espejo Público, businessman Marcos de Quinto described the amount as excessive when compared with standard rates in the audiovisual industry.
According to his assessment, producing a similar video using stock footage or commercially available resources would cost significantly less than the amount cited in the investigation. He also argued that the tools required to create this type of content represent only a small fraction of the value of the contract under scrutiny.
The case is still undergoing judicial review, and the final ruling will ultimately establish whether any liabilities emerge from the events under examination.
