The global network that is shaking Spain: from Madrid to tax havens, all the business of the socialist system
Fifty people under investigation , nine inquiries, and a government clinging to power by alleging conspiracies. The Spanish political situation surrounding Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has now transcended national borders, turning into a full-blown international financial thriller. Investigators are focusing their attention on a complex network of foreign companies, tax havens, and foreign governments used to move capital and, presumably, launder money.
At the center of the debate are not only Sánchez's family affairs, but also the massive case of the rescue of the airline Plus Ultra by SEPI (the Spanish state-owned company), whose tax and administrative documents have accidentally disappeared. According to Judge José Luis Calama, the head of this "stable and hierarchical structure of influence peddling" is none other than former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
The money didn't stop in Spain, but traveled along very specific routes . The court order paints a shocking map of the money laundering process:
- United States: Several shell companies registered in Florida, California, and Delaware have been identified. Financial flows also transited through Miami, using entities such as Thinking Heads Americas LLC.
- Offshore Europe: The headquarters of Kaimana SARL, linked to the operators of the money laundering network, was in Luxembourg. In Gibraltar, Valerian Corporation SA received direct transfers of public funds from the SEPI bailout. The opaque Swiss accounts, particularly in Geneva, were the starting point for the investigation into the movement of "dirty" funds on the stock exchange.
- Global tax havens: Panama was used to transfer funds to anonymous accounts via lending companies, while Mauritius hosted Bluecarp Corp, identified as a key player in international money laundering operations.
The network, however, did not limit itself to moving money, but also wove business relationships at the highest political level.
The Venezuelan axis appears to be central. The documents reveal direct contact with current Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez (called "The Lady" in the files), who allegedly managed the direct allocation of crude oil, gold, and petcoke ships. The network aimed to obtain illicit public aid by managing flight permits and debts through key figures in Caracas. Now, with direct US control, this game appears much more complex.
Further east, the operational hub was Dubai. The emirate was the final destination for moving capital and dealing in raw materials. The company Landside Dubai Fzco was allegedly founded in Dubai, with a clear objective: to collect the millions of commissions from the state bailout of Plus Ultra abroad, not in Spain. The French investigation also reports wire transfers and requests to transfer tons of gold to the emirate.
Finally, the shadow of Beijing appears. Letters of intent signed with companies dependent on the Chinese Communist Party reveal top-level meetings to negotiate the "massive purchase" of raw materials, confirming that the system operated on a global scale. It was now on its way to becoming one of the world's leading mediating powers.
Faced with this hemorrhage of money abroad, the silence of the governing allies, reluctant to present a motion of no confidence, makes the Spanish political landscape increasingly fragile.

In reality, the scandal—or rather, the scandals, because there are now so many threads that it would take books to address them all—are far advanced and are based on too much objective data and reports from foreign authorities, including European ones, to even think of silencing everything. Seventy-seven percent of Spaniards believe the Spanish political situation is "Bad" or "Very Bad" precisely because of the corruption and instability. Political polls haven't yet registered the effects of the scandals, but if they have the courage to vote, we will see major changes.
