Spain’s former monarch was reported to have received US$100 mil from Saudi Arabia’s king in 2008.
La Tribune wrote last week that Juan Carlos, who was king at the time, received US$100 million from Saudi Arabia’s king 12 years ago, and later gave $65 million to Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, a businesswoman whose close relation with Juna Carlos led to his abdication in 2014. According to a statement sent to EFE news agency by zu Sayn Wittgenstein’s lawyer Robin Rathmell, she “received an unsolicited gift” from Juan Carlos for her and her son.
“I am surprised that there are political parties that are again asking for a committee of inquiry when they know that there is no constitutional room for it,” said Adriana Lastra, the Socialists’ spokeswoman in parliament.
