Juan Carlos, the emeritus king of Spain, announced on Monday that he will maintain his residence in Abu Dhabi despite the fact that the investigations were filed legal proceedings on him that in 2020 took him to the United Arab Emirates, indicated the Spanish Royal House.
“I prefer at this time, for reasons that belong to my private sphere and that only affect me, to continue residing permanently and stable in Abu Dhabi,” the former monarch told his son, the current King Felipe VI, in a letter made public by the Royal House.
“Knowing the decrees of the State Attorney General’s Office, by which the investigations to which I have been the subject are archived, it seems appropriate to consider my return to Spain, although not immediately,” added the 84-year-old former monarch five days after the publication of these judicial decisions.
Juan Carlos went into exile in the capital of the United Arab Emirates in August 2020 amid suspicions of embezzlement and to “facilitate” the exercise of his son’s functions, he detailed in his letter. He was the subject of three judicial investigations in Spain, all archived.
