Ending a mystery, Spain says ex-king is in UAE | via nytimes
Spain’s royal household said Monday that the former king, Juan Carlos, was in the United Arab Emirates, two weeks after he left Spain for an unknown destination amid investigations relating to his personal wealth.
In a brief statement, the royal household said that the former king traveled to the United Arab Emirates on Aug. 3. Reached by phone, a spokesman for the royal household would not confirm Juan Carlos’ exact location nor how long he planned to stay there.
But recently, prosecutors in Spain and in Switzerland have opened investigations into a web of offshore foundations, secret bank accounts and business transactions involving people closely connected to the former monarch. One of the foundations investigated in Switzerland received $100 million from Saudi Arabia, which was placed in a secret Swiss bank account.
