The reason why Juan Carlos I refused to attend the Wimbledon final: Felipe VI has a lot to do with it

This Sunday, July 16, we saw Felipe VI in the Wimbledon stands, who witnessed firsthand the historic victory of Carlos Alcaraz compared to Novak Djokovic. A couple of days later it has also transpired that Don Juan Carlos he was invited, although he declined the invitation for a compelling reason.

according to account The Digital Confidential, the emeritus received an important invitation from a good friend of Arab origin. However, the answer of Doña Sofía’s husband was a no, since he considered that it was not inappropriate to outshine her son during the match between the Murcian and Serbian champions.

In this way, we did not see Don Juan Carlos in the stands, as has happened in other sporting events such as the Roland Garros final in June 2019, in which Rafa Nadal, a good friend of his, once again made history.

Taking into account that there are only a few days left for the general elections of 23-J, the father of the Infanta Elena and the Infanta Cristina did not want to make much noise: “Juan Carlos I is expectant, but without worrying about what happens next 23 of July”. However, he “is determined to follow the advice of La Zarzuela to avoid scandals that put more pressure on his son.”

In recent days, there has already been talk of the possible interest of King Juan Carlos in a victory at the polls for the leader of the popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, because in one way or another he would see the path of his return more paved, although for the moment it was not definitive. In April it was commented that the politician would have contacted King Juan Carlos to inform him that he would allow him to live in Spain if he governs, although sources close to the popular ones ended up denying this information.

The father of the Infanta Elena and the Infanta Cristina headed to Abu Dhabi three summers ago, in 2020, after the news about their financial accounts. In March of last year, the Prosecutor’s Office archived the proceedings of its investigation. They are those referring to the alleged illegal commissions for the award of the AVE to Mecca, those of the alleged use of ‘black’ cards paid for by a Mexican businessman and the one related to the fortune that he would have hidden on the island of Jersey.

This decision by the State Attorney General’s Office put an end to two years of investigation and closed the doors for the Supreme Court to act against the emeritus. In addition, it was one more step towards the possibility that Don Juan Carlos could return to Spain and leave Abu Dhabi.

On the other hand, Mrs. Sofía’s husband presented a first regularization to the Treasury of 678,393 euros in December 2020 and a second one of 4.3 million euros in February 2021.
