The investigating judge of the Nóos case, about King Juan Carlos: "I saw that inviolable was equivalent to unpunished"

BARCELONA, 3 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

José Castro, the judge who instructed the 'Nóos' case that led Iñaki Urdangarin to prison, maintains that the inviolability of the king emeritus has been applied with impunity and has reproached the Prosecutor's Office, the State Attorney's Office and the Tax Agency for being " all unemployed" waiting for Juan Carlos I to regularize the money he had outside of Spain.

"I didn't file any cause because even if I had elements to be able to do it, while there was data that could support it, I didn't have jurisdiction and therefore it didn't even cross my mind," he said in an interview with 'Catalunya Ràdio' collected by Europa Press--. I saw that inviolable was equivalent to unpunished and I refrained from any investigation".

On whether Juan Carlos I should be charged now, he replied that "he could have been charged" by a court, and recalled that the Supreme Court, as a result of the published news, is able to open proceedings ex officio and investigate.

"It cannot be that everyone has been stopped to give time: the Prosecutor's Office, the State Attorney's Office, the Tax Agency have been stopped, all stopped waiting for the emeritus to regularize", he commented.

Castro believes that 'de facto' the king emeritus remains inviolable and that "impunity continues to drag him down" despite the fact that he abdicated in favor of his son.
