The Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court concludes that he does not notice signs of crime in the fortune hidden on the island of Jersey of King Emeritus. The prosecutor chief anti-corruption, Alejandro Luzon, has developed a file decree of these research diligences, whose draft has been advanced by the Cope chain, in which he excrises Don Juan Carlos of any kind of criminal liability.

The document consists of a score of folios, is still pending to be visa by the State Attorney General, and in it it is maintained that "there is no indications that allow leading criminal reproach against SMD Juan Carlos de Borbón and Bourbon", so that Agrees the archive of this research, only one of the three that keeps the Public Ministry open against the previous head of the State.

This financial vehicle, whose existence revealed the world, was nourished, abounds, of the funds from two other Trust who had previously created in 1995 and 1997 Manuel Prado and Colón de Carvajal, personal assistant of Don Juan Carlos for many years.
