Reports he is now in the Dominican Republic
safe from arrest. [Spain's former king Juan Carlos has fled to a luxury resort in the Dominican Republic amid a corruption scandal, according to reports. The 82-year-old left the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid on Sunday and spent the night in Sanxenxo, a small town on Spain's Atlantic Coast where he had often attended sailing events, La Vanguardia newspaper reported. He travelled by car the following morning to Porto from where he took a private jet to the Dominican Republic.] [He said that he made the decision because of "public repercussions that certain past events in my private life are generating". Prosecutors in Switzerland are investigating whether financial transactions linked to Juan Carlos had any bearing on Saudi Arabia awarding a lucrative multi-billion-dollar deal to Spanish companies to build a high-speed railway in the kingdom in 2011.] https://news.sky.com/story/former-ki...spain-12042188 |

Some of the things the former king got up to are hilarious. He should have been locked up a long time ago
