Spain’s Supreme Court ordered an investigation into corruption allegations against Carlos in June over a deal to build a high-speed rail project in Saudi Arabia.

Former Spanish King Juan Carlos, who fled the country after an investigation into allegations of corruption began, is now in the UAE. He is staying at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.

After the death of the Spanish dictator General Franco in 1975, Juan Carlos has been instrumental in bringing the country to democracy. After 40 years on the throne, he handed over power to his son in 2014. A Spanish company has won a 600 million job for Saudi Arabia’s Mecca-Medina rail project.

After the transfer of power in 2014, the country’s Supreme Court took the initiative to prove the involvement of Juan Carlos in the Saudi project. As long as he was king, he had immunity. The court ordered the investigation to begin in June. Then suddenly the former king left the country. However, no official information has been released about his whereabouts.

A private plane from Paris to Abu Dhabi landed in the Spanish city of Vigo on Monday (August 03) morning. From there, Juan Carlos, four security guards and another man were picked up on the plane. Upon arrival at Al Bateen Airport in Abu Dhabi, Carlos and his companions were taken by helicopter to the Hotel Emirates Palace.

A spokesman for Spain’s royal family claimed he did not know where Carlos was. His lawyer did not respond to a request for comment. The Spanish government is not saying anything about it. Some media reports have claimed that Carlos is stationed in different parts of the Dominican Republic and Portugal. However, neither side claimed to know anything about Carlos.

It is to be noted that an investigation has been started against him for corruption allegations a few weeks ago. Former King Juan Carlos has informed his son Philip of his decision to leave the country, according to the Spanish royal family. He handed over power to this boy Philip six years ago. The former king said he could be contacted if he needed to be spoken to for an investigation.
