The prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Juan Ignacio Campos, will decide in late August or early September on the request to open a criminal procedure against Juan Carlos I or the file of the case, according to tax sources.
It will be then when, according to the same sources, the prosecutor will have already received the entire rogatory commission requested from Switzerland on the movements in the account that housed the 64.8 million transferred by the Saudi king.
To make the decision, what will be “meditated, studied and reflected in depth”, Campos will not only have the collaboration of three other Supreme Court prosecutors, but in an unusual way, the State Attorney General’s Office has put at his disposal the international legal cooperation unit, made up of a Supreme Court prosecutor and his team of experts. , which will be key to streamline procedures with Switzerland and analyze the information received.
The tax sources consulted assert that “They will go to the end of the case” in “defense of legality.” Other legal sources linked to the case do not rule out the appearance of “new accounts and funds” related to the emeritus if the Supreme Court decides to open a criminal investigation.
They emphasize that incidentally, the relationship of Juan Carlos I with the alleged managers of his funds in Switzerland, Arturo Fasana and Dante Canónica, “predates” the million-dollar Saudi transferTherefore, “it is to be assumed the existence of other amounts and opaque accounts” to the Spanish treasury, which “can now emerge” with a detailed investigation.
In the event that the procedure is finally opened, in the opinion of these sources, as has already happened with other cases of corruption, the Supreme Prosecutor will have to investigate whether the appearance of an opaque account “may lead” to the knowledge of other related and conclude with the total clarification of the facts.
