A year after Spain s former King Juan Carlos went into self-imposed exile in the face of mounting questions over his finances, he remains under a cloud of suspicion that complicates his return home.
He announced on August 3, 2020 he was moving abroad to prevent his personal affairs from undermining his son King Felipe VI s reign and sullying the monarchy.
But his choice of new home the United Arab Emirates, where some of his business affairs triggered the scandals that tainted his reputation in the first place only raised Spaniards eyebrows further.
