Treasury does not investigate the king emeritus again now. The Tax agencydespite supporting the filing of the investigative proceedings of the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) on March 2, has continued, and continues, according to sources consulted, its own verification of the income and expenses of the emeritus in the years 2014-2018, which corresponds to the years to which his regularizations December 2020 (donations) and February 2021 (rent).
But the presentation of the news as a new investigation, in this case about hunts, has suggested that a government institution, the Tax Agency, is becoming fierce with the emeritus, seeking to tickle him… in addition to the fact that Moncloa and Zarzuela had just canceled their second trip to Sanxenxo in less than a month this weekend.
It is, in fact, from the repetition of the victimhood play by those who have inflated the balloon of the “new & rdquor; non-existent Treasury investigation.
Information and affirmations
Already in September 2021, the newspaper ‘El Mundo’ -the one that reported last Wednesday, June 8, that the Treasury “is now investigating the emeritus for the hunts to which he was invited after his abdication”- reported that “the Prosecutor’s Office Maintains that John Charles I is an international commission agent” in a rogatory commission sent to Switzerland to request the accounts of the Zagatka Foundation.
The claim was based on the document sent by the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office to the Swiss authorities in February 2021. It indicated evidence against the king emeritus, who had received “commissions and other benefits of a similar nature by virtue of his business intermediation international business & rdquor ;. Among other indicative elements were none other than the €64.8 million received by Juan Carlos I on August 8, 2008 in his Lucum Foundation in Switzerland, accredited by the Geneva prosecutor’s investigation Yves Bertosa after an entry and registration, on August 16, 2018, at the offices of Arturo Fasana in his office at Rhône Gestion, the firm that managed the emeritus’s funds.
The news emphasized that the prosecutors had qualified some behaviors (money launderingfor example) when no accusation had yet been made against Juan Carlos I. Precisely, when a rogatory commission is issued, it is because there are indications that are trying to be confirmed.
no declarations
The news had an immediate response from Javier Sanchez-Juncoformer prosecutor and lawyer for the emeritus, who pointed out in a statement that “such statements clearly violate the principle of presumption of innocence that protects all citizens and transfers to public opinion assessments and considerations that seriously harm HM the King D. Juan Carloswhich has been under investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office for more than a year”. The lawyer reiterated: “In that communication to the Swiss authorities there is serious claims and accusations of behaviors that are carried out, in our opinion, without any support whatsoever and are devoid of the slightest justification, being contradicted by other facts about which nothing is said”.
The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office had offered Sánchez-Junco in June, November and December 2020 to appear in the three investigative steps then in progress, but the lawyer declined to do so.
The news of a new presumed turn of the screw of the Government-Tax Agency to Juan Carlos I did not provoke any public reaction from the lawyer. Consulted by this journalist from EL PERIÓDICO yesterday, Sánchez-Junco replied: “I’m sorry, Ernesto, but I’m not saying anything at the moment. Thank you & rdquor ;.
The right and the prosecution
Regardless of the origin of the news leak of the “new & rdquor; Treasury investigation -something that the Treasury inspectors do not support, since they recognize that it is a check that has been going on since at least 2021-, the deliberate presentation It has been that the Government, through the Tax Agency, continues to bother Juan Carlos I.
It is common for the right to remember that the Prosecutor’s Office depends on the Government for what interests it and ignores it when it does not serve as an alibi.
Now it is that the Tax Agency is the Government. And the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which depends on the Government, as is often argued based on that affirmation of Pedro Sanchez on March 4, 2021 on Radio Nacional de España, is it not the one that, even after notifying the three investigations to Juan Carlos I, breaking the spontaneity required of the regularizations, equally accepted them as good?
Freedom supervised”
That Juan Carlos I is angry, according to consulted sources, by the “monitored” liberty of movements in Spain to which he is being subjected, it is a fact. And that the media, which since at least August 3, 2020, have accused Pedro Sanchez of wanting to erase it from the map, and use the issue of the emeritus as a throwing weapon against the Government -as they do with ETA and they did with Venezuela and Cuba- is no less true.

The only question that remains of the day of the storm in a glass of water is whether John Charles I and their advisers participate or not in these skirmishes. It would be a high-risk operation. Because Philip VI and his Royal House are doing”a work of sisyphus” to strategically overcome the damage caused by his father in the monarchical institution.
As regards the Tax agency, it would be convenient that once and for all clarify the verifications and stop acting like a “two-headed monster & rdquor ;. One of them, the one that informed the Prosecutor’s Office that the regularizations had been spontaneous, truthful, and complete; and the other, still maintaining some pending claims such as hunting.
