- Questions and Answers: The keys to the case that affects Juan Carlos I
- Corona.Who is who in the scandal of Juan Carlos I and Corinna Larsen
The unsustainable situation derived from the information on the opaque businesses of Don Juan Carlos, the deterioration that they cause in the image of the Crown and the pressure that has come from different areas -with special emphasis from the Government- have led Felipe VI to not delay any further an expected decision. The King has accepted the exile of his father, who was Head of State for almost four decades, and who now makes headlines along with funds in tax havens and accounts in Switzerland . The decision is made public once the Kings have completed their tour of Spain, in which all the communities have toured.
The scandals carried out by the one who was Head of State for almost four decades have once again put Felipe VI in the position of choosing to be King before brother or son. He has already stripped the brother of Dukes of his brother Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin for their involvement in the Nóos case , and now he is drawing a new firewall expelling his father from Spain.
The formula executed for the exile of Don Juan Carlos is the same one used in his resignation from institutional life or with the first stone of the repudiation laid on March 15: it is intended to transfer that it is his decision, part of it, and thus he communicates it to Felipe VI. However, no one escapes that weeks ago the King's House with the Government, and with different personalities of society, analyzed and debated how to tackle the problem of the presence of Juan Carlos I in the same space as the King and his family. A matter of State, where the initiative does not start from the emeritus.
Thus, the repudiation of Don Juan Carlos has been structured in three steps. A progressive firewall, which has had to increase in intensity due to the severity of the published journalistic investigations. First, on May 27, 2019, it was transferred that he was withdrawing from public life in an official way - it had been months since his agenda had been relegated and his appearances with Felipe VI were few and almost obligatory. By then, and the detail is now important, the Casa del Rey already had knowledge of the funds and opaque businesses of Juan Carlos I. It had been almost two months since Corinna's lawyers had transferred the details to them.
Second, on March 15, when Spain was plunged into alarm by the coronavirus pandemic, Felipe VI made the rejection of his father visible by renouncing the inheritance and withdrew the assignment to Don Juan Carlos for his fund in a tax haven.
The third and final step occurs after an escalation of information, like all the information uncovered by EL MUNDO, in which the businesses of Don Juan Carlos and Corinna Larsen have been known in detail, as well as the claims and economic operations carried out for the emeritus.
Felipe VI needed to publicly stage a repudiation, a media security cordon in an attempt to safeguard the institution of the Crown, both his reign and the performance of the heir, Princess Leonor, before public opinion. First, due to the erosion and wear and tear that the opaque businesses of Don Juan Carlos have caused, which have prevented Zarzuela from making the work performed by the Kings profitable during the pandemic.
Second, because although Zarzuela stopped Corinna's attempt to involve Felipe VI, the German businesswoman did try to implicate the current King of Spain by assuring, according to her version, that Don Felipe, being Prince of Asturias, had received one of the two Ferraris that in 2011 the prince of Abu Dhabi , Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan , delivered to the Spanish monarchy.
And thirdly, because Felipe VI knew of his father's operations and that he himself was listed as a beneficiary of the foundations created by Don Juan Carlos since March 5, 2019, after receiving a letter from Corinna's lawyers that EL WORLD made public. And although Zarzuela assures that he transferred the matter to the "competent authorities", it took him a year to communicate the matter to Spanish society.
