The Supreme Court refuses to impose precautionary measures on Juan Carlos I, recalling that he is not charged | Courts

He Supreme court He has flatly refused to impose any kind of precautionary measure on Juan Carlos I after his announcement to leave our country and establish his residence abroad. The judges reject the request of the Òmnium Cultural association, recalling that the monarch is not charged in any proceeding and that, therefore, no type of precautionary measure can be imposed on him.

The association chaired by Jordi Cuixart yesterday announced its intention to go to the Supreme Court to urgently request precautionary measures, ensuring that “after the escape of the emeritus” It is necessary “to call him to testify immediately as investigated and for the judge to take his statement.”

The Supreme Court’s vacation room, in an order signed by the president of the third room, Francisco Marín Castán, rejects the association’s request, recalling that “Our procedural system does not contemplate the adoption of precautionary measures regarding those who do not have the status of being investigated.”

The Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office has been investigating information from Switzerland about the fortune of Juan Carlos de Borbón, supposedly amassed outside of our country and behind the back of the Treasury after charging a millionaire commission for intervening in the award of the construction of the AVE to Mecca to Spanish companies. The Prosecutor’s Office still has to decide whether or not to denounce the monarch, and in case of doing so, it will be the criminal chamber of the Supreme Court that decides whether to impute him or not.
