Prosecutor Elena Lorente, from the Spanish Anti-Corruption Public Prosecutor's Office, questioned the former CEO of the airline Plus Ultra, Roberto Roselli, about the use of an investment platform created by a Luxembourg company to finance the company with 9.66 million dollars (almost 9 million euros) of Venezuelan capital. The interrogation was conducted before the judge of the Zapalero case, José Luis Calama, who presides over this judicial investigation.
Roselli was questioned insistently by the prosecutor about the details of this financial operation that involved the transfer of Venezuelan capital through a Luxembourg corporate structure to inject resources into the airline Plus Ultra. The sources present at the interrogation indicated that the questions focused specifically on the use of this investment platform.
The case, known as the Zapalero case, investigates alleged irregular financing of the airline Plus Ultra by Venezuela, using corporate structures in jurisdictions such as Luxembourg. The judicial investigation continues underway under the supervision of Judge José Luis Calama.
