Sanchez will not publish the list of fiscal amnesties that could include Juan Carlos

Spanish Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Tuesday he would not publish the list of beneficiaries of a tax amnesty granted in 2012 that former King Juan Carlos would have benefited, according to his ex-mistress. The right-wing government of Mariano Rajoy, who was succeeded by Pedro Sanchez as head of the country, took the measure in the midst of the economic crisis, baduring that it would allow the state to raise money to reduce its deficit. 19659003] No retroactive effect. The tax amnesty, open to individuals and companies, was overturned in 2017 by the Constitutional Court, which accused the government of having "abdicated" its obligation to guarantee the fair contribution of all to the Treasury. But before the deputies, Pedro Sanchez recalled that the decision of the Court was not retroactive. "It is not possible to review the cases that benefited from this amnesty" or "to publish the names," he said.

Juan Carlos pointed out by his ex-mistress. For several days, former King Juan Carlos, who abdicated in 2014 after more than 38 years of rule, is believed to have benefited. Online media have published recordings of her former mistress, the German aristocrat Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, where she suggests that the former king benefited from this amnesty and that he would have opened accounts in Switzerland in the name of a cousin living in Monaco, Alvaro of Orléans Bourbon. "He put in his name bank accounts in Switzerland that did not return with the amnesty," she said in one of these soundtracks.

A promise of Sanchez. The publication of the names of the beneficiaries of the tax amnesty was yet a promise of Pedro Sanchez before his arrival in early June to the government, recalled the radical left party Podemos. "The citizens of our country have the right to know whether the emeritus king is a fraudster or not," Ione Belarra MP Pedro Sanchez told reporters. The head of the government, a minority in Parliament and dependent on parties like Podemos, nevertheless announced that his executive would introduce a bill to ban future tax amnesties.
