Sánchez backs Zapatero after Saudi jewels gift admission

Spanish PM Sánchez reaffirms confidence in ex-PM Zapatero after Zapatero told a judge the jewels found in his office safe were a 2007 gift from Saudi Arabia's king, accepted out of deference. The admission raises legal and reputational questions in an ongoing investigation, but Sánchez's support signals political continuity. Uncertainty remains over the legal implications and any further disclosures.
