"In relation to the information that is published today in a media regarding His Majesty the King D. Juan Carlos, we find it necessary to make the following points:

1. Said information apparently refers to a Request for International Judicial Assistance in Criminal Matters, sent to the Swiss authorities almost 7 months ago, in February of this year 2021, by the Instructing Prosecutor of the Investigative Proceedings that are being followed in the Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court.

2. Said Request for Judicial Assistance is not public. Thus, except for the Authorities to which it is addressed, it should only be made known to the Public Prosecutor's Office, whose actions are reserved, without our being aware that they have been communicated to any party.

3. This communication to the Swiss Authorities contains serious assertions and accusations of behaviors that are carried out, in our opinion, without any support and are devoid of the slightest justification, being contradicted by other facts of which nothing is said.

4. For this reason, such statements clearly violate the principle of presumption of innocence that protects all citizens and public opinion is transferred to assessments and considerations that seriously harm His Majesty the King D. Juan Carlos, who is subject to an investigation. by the Prosecutor's Office for more than a year.
