UDEF detected a cross-border currency collection operation of 181,037 euros by a frontman for Zapatero.
The company of Zapatero's daughters received 74,112 euros from Huawei Technologies España SL over three years.
Huawei paid 18,150 euros in 2021 for three invoices from Whathefav SL, dated between October and December 2020.
The UDEF alleges the network used fictitious documentation and front companies, with direct intervention by Zapatero in high-value international operations (petcoke, gold, stocks, currencies).
