Spanish media has detailed the extensive business backgrounds of former presidents José María Aznar and Felipe González, who have held numerous advisory and board positions at major corporations including News Corp, Endesa, KPMG, and international law firms over recent decades. The reporting provides context for the ongoing corruption case against former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who is the first former Spanish president indicted during democracy for allegedly collecting illegal commissions through intermediary companies in favor of the airline Plus Ultra.
