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 claims that one of the companies connected to the case, Inteligencia Prospectiva, paid a substantial amount for the production of a video lasting less than one minute. Based on the information released, the payment would amount to approximately €10,000 for each second of the finished audiovisual content.
The disclosed payment has ignited discussion about whether the contracted work warranted such a sum. On the television program Espejo Público, businessman Marcos de Quinto characterized the figure as disproportionately high compared with typical pricing in the audiovisual sector.
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.
