• The investigation: The keys to the case that affects Juan Carlos I

The Royal House managed to stay on its feet after the Urdangarin case after launching a large state operation to save the institution. She sacrificed the former Duke of Palma and exonerated Cristina de Borbón at all costs from the operations of the Nóos Institute that her husband presided over. Now he is facing a second great crisis not alien to the previous one.

THE PRELUDE OF NOOS AND CORINNA

The distant Nóos case rolled an explosive charge with a delayed effect that has exploded eight years later. In Urdangarin's particular war with his former partner Diego Torres, he put on the table emails that uncovered the then unknown to the general public Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, revealing the favors that Don Juan Carlos had asked for Iñaki. Her abrupt exposition before the spotlights caused the silence of Don Juan Carlos' enigmatic "dear friend" to be broken, who in these same pages disturbingly admitted that he had carried out "important works for the State". Corinna appeared alongside the King in Botswana's famous hunting accident.

THE CINTAS DE VILLAREJO

Once Corinna became a public figure and after denouncing that she had been threatened by the Spanish Intelligence Services in London so that she did not reveal the information that she supposedly had, she contacted Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, public enemy of the CNI. The latter recorded it telling that he had acted as figurehead for Don Juan Carlos and later uncovered the material. His conversations with the former police high command, imprisoned in Estremera, caused for the first time that the Spanish Justice began proceedings to investigate the King's alleged millionaire businesses. The National Court opened and closed the piece Carol in record time, considering that Corinna's confessions to Villarejo were insufficient. However, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office launched secret investigative measures to determine whether, as Corinna pointed out, a commission payment had also been mediated in exchange for the award of the AVE work to Mecca that was taken by a Spanish UTE.

THE INVESTIGATION IN SWITZERLAND

The beginning of the end of Don Juan Carlos began to be written when Switzerland began, on its own, an investigation led by the prosecutor Yves Bertossa focused on the supposed fiduciaries of the Emeritus, whom he had pointed out with Corinna's name and surnames on the tapes: the famous Alberto Fassana, figurehead among others of Francisco Correa in the Soleado account; the cousin of Don Juan Carlos, Álvaro de Orleans; and the lawyer Dante Canonical.

$ 100 million The Geneva Tribune reported on March 3 that Don Juan Carlos hid $ 100 million in an account in Switzerland. According to the Swiss newspaper, the funds were deposited in an account of the Mirabaud bank in Panama in the name of the Lucum Foundation, coming from the Saudi king Abdul Aziz Al Saud. The "sole beneficiary" of that opaque foundation was Juan Carlos de Borbón. Lucum was created on July 31, 2008 in Panama, a week before, as the Swiss media reported, the entity donated 65 million euros to Corinna that came from the Saudi Ministry of Finance.

PHILIP VI, BENEFICIARY

A second journalistic information abroad, in this case from the British newspaper The Telegraph, revealed this Saturday that Felipe VI is listed as "second beneficiary" of the aforementioned Lucum instrumental foundation, being elected to that position when he was still Prince of Asturias. Thus, the current King was called to administer the opaque funds in the event of the death of Juan Carlos I. "The second beneficiary must provide support throughout his life to all members of the royal family", in addition to "satisfying any reasonable request for his mother, his sisters and his children ”, explained The Telegraph detailing the statutes of the instrumental society.

THE DONATION TO CORINNA

Corinna acknowledged in a statement from her English lawyers that the Emeritus made that millionaire donation for the "love" he had for her and her son. This gift was articulated through the same Panamanian foundation controlled by the alleged figureheads of Don Juan Carlos, Dante Canonica and Arturo Fassana. In this sense, the prosecutor Bertossa is currently investigating whether the $ 100 million came from a commission that the former head of state allegedly charged for mediating the works of the desert AVE.

SECOND OPACA FOUNDATION

In parallel, another foundation has emerged that has Don Juan Carlos and his son as beneficiaries. Named Zagatka, incorporated in Liechtenstein in 2003, with accounts at Credit Suisse and directed by attorney Dante Canonica, it defrayed private flights of the Emeritus and managed to handle 14 million. The fourth beneficiary of this entity is Felipe VI, an end that the King assures that, as with the previous foundation, he was unaware and that, consequently, he renounces said condition completely.

FISHERIES IN SPAIN

In a recording by Commissioner Villarejo with the German businesswoman that took place in London in 2015, the one who was a close friend of King Juan Carlos referred to the acquisition "of land in Morocco, to the payment of commissions related to the construction of the AVE Mecca-Medina "and" bank accounts of which the King would be royal owner in Switzerland, either under assumed names or under the formal ownership of a relative ", referring to Álvaro de Orleans. Swiss prosecutor Yves Bertossa met in October at the headquarters of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office with Chief Prosecutor Alejandro Luzón, prosecutors in the Villarejo case - Ignacio Stampa and Miguel Serrano - and Luis Pastor, in charge of the AVE proceedings in Mecca. The instructor for the so-called Tandem case, Manuel García Castellón, also attended the appointment to exchange information. According to sources from the investigation to EL MUNDO, the meeting addressed the need to activate a cooperation mechanism between the two countries, after the Swiss Prosecutor's Office requested the documentation on the investigation that is being followed in Spain by the AVE issue to Mecca. After that meeting, Judge García Castellón, who has asked Switzerland for information on the investigation open to the alleged figureheads of the monarch, completed the letters rogatory commissioned by the Swiss country and forwarded to the prosecutor Bertossa the tapes seized from Villarejo with Corinna. Anticorruption also did the same and sent Switzerland information about the AVE commissions to Mecca. In addition, at that meeting it was transmitted to the prosecutor Bertossa that the Swiss judicial authorities are not competent to open an investigation to King Juan Carlos due to lack of competence.

THE FUTURE

The Public Ministry will have to decide if there are sufficient indications of crime to file an international bribery complaint for the payment of commissions on the works of the AVE to Mecca.
