Former Spanish king Juan Carlos I is preparing his imminent return to Spain, ARA has learnt from several sources. It would be the first time in almost two years that he visits the country where he reigned for four decades. His return, according to these sources, could take place in the next few days and would not last long, since his idea is to spend a few days or weeks in Spain before going abroad again. Consulted by this newspaper, a spokesman for the King's Household declined to comment and only stated "there will be clear information" when the time comes.

The current Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, allegedly gave 60 million pesetas a year in cash from the State's secret funds to the royal family while she held the second most important post at the Ministry of Home Affairs, between 1994 and 1996, under Felipe González. According to newspaper Abc, Robles handed over five million pesetas a month in cash to "leave no trace". This information was allegedly revealed by former Socialist minister Antoni Asunción in a conversation with former director of the Superior Center for Defence Information Emilio Alonso Manglano in December 1994.
