The former Spanish king, Juan Carlos (82), will be hospitalized in Abu Dhabi with covid-19. Catalunya Radio reports.
It is said that he was admitted last week and is still in the hospital. Its status is currently unknown. The Spanish government has stated that this is not something they can comment on.
The 82-year-old man was King of Spain from 1975 until he abdicated in 2014, when his son King Felipe (52) took over.
The scandals were online when Juan Carlos sat on the throne. Six years ago, he had to abdicate and cede the throne to his son, King Felipe, as a result of the public’s weakened confidence after years of infidelities, accusations and intrigues in the Spanish royal family.
Here hides the former king
The former king is now back in bad weather, after an investigation was opened against the 82-year-old in June for his role in a Spanish contract with Saudi Arabia to build a railway between Mecca and Medina.
The investigation also involves a secret bank account in Switzerland.
As a result, he has been staying at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi since last fall.
Home for Christmas
Last week, various media wrote that the former king wants to return to Spain to celebrate Christmas, four months after he left his homeland. Reported among others Royal Central.
However, according to Royal Central, several Spanish media assure that Juan Carlos has previously stated that he will not return if there is the least risk of a new scandal.
The Spanish King Escapes: – Completely Unreal
The decision is said to rest with the son, King Felipe, as well as with the Spanish authorities. At the time of writing, none of them have commented on the possible return, but it may now appear that this will be irrelevant.
News of the possible return to Spain came the same week the former king paid about $ 820,000 in debt, according to the former king’s lawyer, Javier Sánchez-Junco, according to the New York Times. This corresponds to approximately NOK 7.2 million.
