King Corp.

In the empire of Juan Carlos I, which spans from Panama to Switzerland passing through the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, the sun never sets and, what is more important, liquidity never runs out. King Corp. follows in the footsteps of money, as dictated by the canons of investigative journalism, without forgetting to recreate the corrupt atmosphere of a time and a country. In this sense, King Corp. is a bestiary of the Spanish elites who became (even more) rich and powerful in the king's shadow; a black chronicle (with an inevitable pink background) where drug traffickers, Swiss lawyers and arms dealers (among others) parade; and an instruction manual for navigating the maze of financial scandals and legal proceedings that threatened to put a king on the bench for the first time in Spanish history. It is also the detailed and vibrant account of the social, judicial and political collusion that allowed the head of state to accumulate hundreds of millions of euros in tax havens, use state assets for his own benefit and play with intelligence services as if they were his tin soldiers. In addition to providing context and narrative texture to much piece of information published fragmentarily in recent years, José María Olmo and David Fernández reveal assets, collaborators and episodes of Juan Carlos I's immense economic conglomerate that had remained hidden until now, after accessing exclusively to bank documents, emails and photographs, as well as testimonials from bankers, businessmen, Zarzuela workers, the military, members of the secret services, close friends and ex-lovers of Juan Carlos I.
