Former Spanish king Juan Carlos has requested that a London court dismiss a £126 million lawsuit filed against him by his ex-lover, Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn. Sayn-Wittgenstein alleges that Juan Carlos engaged in a campaign of harassment after she refused to return millions of euros to him. The 85-year-old ex-monarch is accused of orchestrating threats, surveillance, and intimidation from 2012 onwards.
According to Sayn-Wittgenstein, Juan Carlos gave her €65 million as a gift to conceal the money from Spanish tax authorities. When she refused to give it back, she claims she was targeted by harassment and intimidation either by Juan Carlos himself or individuals acting on his behalf. Evidence presented by her lawyers includes the discovery of a book alleging Princess Diana’s death was orchestrated by British intelligence in her Swiss apartment while she was away, as well as gunshots fired at CCTV cameras outside her home and the monitoring of her mobile phone.
During the court hearing, Juan Carlos’s lawyer, Adam Wolanski, vehemently denied the allegations of harassment, stating that Juan Carlos has never harassed Sayn-Wittgenstein. Wolanski argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed as there is no viable claim against Juan Carlos for harassment.
Once revered for his role in Spain’s transition to democracy, Juan Carlos was forced to abdicate the throne in 2014 due to various scandals, including his affair with Sayn-Wittgenstein. He is now seen as a liability for his son, King Felipe.
Sayn-Wittgenstein’s lawyers argue that Juan Carlos is attempting to avoid the courts’ decision on her lawsuit, which was initially filed in 2020 and has since been entangled in disputes over whether Juan Carlos is entitled to immunity.
In summary, the London court is now considering Juan Carlos’s request to dismiss the £126 million lawsuit brought against him by his former lover, Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn. The lawsuit accuses the ex-monarch of orchestrating harassment, while Juan Carlos strongly denies these allegations. The outcome of this legal battle will determine the resolution of the long-standing dispute between the two parties.
