Plus Ultra rescue funds under investigation in Zapatero case

In the ongoing Zapatero case, former Plus Ultra CEO Roberto Roselli is submitting new documentation to National Court Judge José Luis Calama. The documents pertain to the 53 million euro rescue package received by the airline in March 2021 from the Spanish State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI).

Included in the files are communications from AndCapital Bank, based in Puerto Rico, which raised concerns regarding specific transfers. The bank’s compliance officer questioned a transfer of $545,222.59 made on March 25, 2021, and sought clarification on funds used to settle a loan with a Panamanian financial institution. The bank reportedly asked several questions regarding the disbursements made by SEPI to the airline.
