José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, former prime minister of Spain, has requested the annulment of the 'caso Plus Ultra' investigation, alleging violations of his fundamental rights.
Meanwhile, Judge José Luis Calama has opened a separate investigation into leaks of private chats between Zapatero and his secretary, which were included in a police report.

The case continues as the court weighs the nullity request and the leak investigation.
“Zapatero pide declarar la vulneración de los derechos fundamentales al juez ordinario predeterminado por la ley, a un proceso justo con todas las garantías, a la tutela judicial efectiva sin indefensión y a la presunción de inocencia.”
“La defensa sostiene que el caso se basa en 'análisis de conversaciones privadas no autorizados' y denuncia la existencia de 'maniobras dirigidas a conducir el proceso hacia órganos judiciales de mayor conveniencia, soslayando al juez ordinario legalmente competente'.”
“En el presente caso, se han producido filtraciones constantes e inmediatas a medios de comunicación, alcanzando su máxima expresión en el día de ayer.”
