Unveiling the Business Ventures of Former Defense Minister José Bono

The journalists at THE OBJECTIVE delve into the intriguing business dealings of former Defense Minister José Bono in the latest episode of 'Direct Objective.' Since stepping back from frontline politics, the former Socialist minister has garnered attention for his lavish lifestyle. In 2020, Bono, who also served as the President of the Congress of Deputies, relocated to the Dominican Republic, where he obtained Dominican citizenship. It is here that he has established six companies with assets totaling approximately 7.5 million euros.

In recent years, Bono has expanded his real estate portfolio by acquiring five adjacent properties in Tangier, Morocco, where he currently owns a substantial area of 1,800 square meters. This raises several pertinent questions: How has he amassed such wealth? Are there potential conflicts of interest or revolving door situations at play? What is Bono's connection to the Koldo case?

These critical inquiries are addressed in 'Direct Objective' with contributions from Marcos Ondarra, Álvaro Nieto, Maite Rico, Pelayo Barro, Carlos Dávila, and Jorge Mestre. We are also joined by Nouna Lozano, a lawyer and spokesperson for Hazte Oír, who adds further insights into these pressing matters.
