MADRID - Former Spanish king Juan Carlos, who left Spain under a cloud of scandal, has been in the United Arab Emirates since Aug 3, a royal household spokesman said on Monday , putting an end to an international guessing game over the 82-year-old's whereabouts.
"King Juan Carlos has told the royal household that he went to the Emirates on Aug 3, and he remains there now," the spokesman said. After leaving the throne, he took a step back from public life. But the controversy continued, culminating with a move by Spain's Supreme Court in June to open a preliminary investigation into his involvement in a high-speed rail contract built by Spanish firms in Saudi Arabia.
