Juan Carlos I d'Espagne

politician

Juan Carlos I d'Espagne is the former king of Spain who reigned from 1975 until his abdication in 2014. He played a crucial role in the transition of Spain from dictatorship to democracy after the death of Francisco Franco. His reign saw significant political reforms and the establishment of a parliamentary monarchy; however, his legacy has been marred by various scandals, particularly regarding his financial dealings and alleged corruption. Following revelations about hidden wealth and questionable gifts, he left Spain for Abu Dhabi in 2020, and his memoirs, published in 2023, have sparked further controversy over his financial history.
