King Juan Carlos ordered "create an infrastructure" in Switzerland to hide the money from Saudi Arabia

  • The alleged testaferro of the king emeritus of Spain Juan Carlos I, lawyer Dante Canonica, has declared before the Swiss prosecutor after denying him the facts. In his opinion, Borbón ordered him in Zarzuela in 2008 to start preparing the ground to receive "an important financial contribution" from Saudi Arabia.

Swiss justice investigates the alleged commissions that the former king of Spain has charged for the uprisings to undermine the TAV’s works in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, and it is becoming increasingly clear that Juan Carlos Borbón was fully involved in the operation to conceal that financial contribution from the Saudi authorities.

Attorney DANTE Canonica has declared to the prosecutor and the El Español portal has filtered the content of the declaration of sexual abuse. According to Canonica, he met with Arturo Fasana and the monarch in 2008 to learn about his intentions. Borbon told them that he would receive a significant amount of money from Saudi Arabia, and promised them “to create an infrastructure” to safeguard those millions of euros. Canonica explained in his statement that he sent the king of Spain the need for this infrastructure to be "totally transparent" and not built.

In any case, for prosecutor Yves Bertossa, who investigates the case, this "transparency" is something that cannot be ruled out. In his opinion, he used Juan Carlos Borboik Fasana and Canonica as testaferros and collaborators – they met twice with the ambassador of Saudi Arabia in EE.UU – to receive commissions from the TAV of Mecca, specifically $100 million, saved in an account of Mirabaud bank.

This account was in the name of the Lucum offshore Foundation, created specifically in Panama, from where they brought out a few years, in 2012, 65 million dollars for King Corinna Larsen’s former partner, but according to the aristocrat that “gift” did not help him take the black money – that year Switzerland tightened the money laundering laws – but “for gratitude and love”.

The main beneficiary of the Lucum Foundation was Juan Carlos I, and as the second beneficiary his successor, Felipe Borbón, the current king of Spain, appears. The newspaper The Telegraph reported this on March 14, but the Casa Real de la zarzuela has recognized that it has known at least for a year that detail of Felipe URL0.

The Spanish Government decreed the State of Alarm and on the same day announced that Felipe Borbón had relinquished his father’s personal heritage. It has not specified the amount of the inheritance or the origin of the inheritance.
