Retired Supreme Court Justicesretired anti-corruption prosecutors and several intellectuals They filed a joint criminal complaint against Juan Carlos I before the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court for five tax offenses against the Public Treasury.
The complaint, to which laSexta had access, is filed before the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court, considering that there are sufficient elements to verify the existence of crimes against the Public Treasury between the years 2014 and 2018.
Concretely, the former magistrates explain that five tax offenses committed by the Emeritus King on these dates would not have expired, at the same time they argue that the Prosecutor’s Office informed Juan Carlos I that an investigation had been opened against him for the existence of tax offenses.
“When the public prosecutor informs a person under investigation of the opening of an investigative procedure in which there are data on irregular activities with tax implications, he can never have detailed knowledge data which supports a possible tax offense, because this is information of which the Tax Administration will only be able to have knowledge once the sanction file has been closed, which closes the way to the possibility of regularization” , we can read in the text.
The reported acts were allegedly committed after the abdication of Juan Carlos I, which means the loss of the inviolability that the Spanish courts have granted when interpreting the constitutional text.
The plaintiffs include retired Supreme Court judge José Antonio Martín Pallín and retired anti-corruption prosecutors such as Carlos Jiménez Villarejo and José María Mena, as well as journalists and philosophers.
