Deputy accuses US of leaking data on Plus Ultra case

Published on May 23, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

A deputy from a parliamentary group has stated that the United States allegedly shared information about a former Spanish government president investigated in the Plus Ultra case. According to their version, the aim would be to generate a political crisis in Spain, acting against those who supposedly helped evade sanctions on Venezuela.

The role of artificial intelligence in data leaks 🤖

In an environment where geopolitics intersects with technology, advanced AI systems allow cross-referencing financial databases and diplomatic communications in real time. Tools like Palantir or predictive analysis models can identify sanctions evasion patterns without direct human intervention. If the accusation is true, the US would have used these capabilities to track connections between the former president and Venezuelan networks, subsequently leaking the results to Spanish political actors.

When digital espionage is faster than justice 🕵️

So it turns out that intelligence services can track a Plus Ultra plane down to the last Twitter user who asked about the flight, but they can't prevent the information from slipping into a political rally. In the end, it seems the only thing flying faster than those planes is the leaked data. Good thing technology is advancing so politicians can throw mud at each other with greater precision.
