		</div><p>Spanish Supreme Court prosecutors have opened a third corruption investigation involving former monarch Juan Carlos I of Spain, officials said.</p>
<p>Attorney general Dolores Delgado and top anti-corruption prosecutor Alejandro Luzon told reporters the probe is still at an “embryonic” stage, private news agency Europa Press reported.</p>
<p>They said the investigation was triggered by “financial information” but declined to elaborate, Europa Press said.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Earlier this week, prosecutors announced a second investigation into Juan Carlos’ finances.</p>
<p>The announcement came after Spanish online daily elDiario.es reported that anti-corruption prosecutors were probing the alleged use by the former king, ex-Queen Sofia and other members of the royal family of credit cards linked to foreign accounts not in their names.</p>
<p>The former king was already the target of official investigations in Spain and Switzerland for possible financial wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Those investigations prompted him to leave Spain in August.</p>
<p>Juan Carlos wrote in a published letter to his son, King Felipe VI, that he was moving abroad due to the “public repercussions of certain episodes of my past private life”.</p>
<p>The investigations have embarrassed the royal household and brought low the former monarch who once was held in high esteem.</p>
<p>Juan Carlos played a key role in Spain’s transition to democratic rule in the 1970s, when he replaced General Francisco Franco as the country’s head of state.</p>
<p>He reigned for nearly four decades as Spain modernised and joined the European Union.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>But his luxurious life and corruption scandals tarnishing members of the royal family provided a striking contrast with the hardship of Spaniards during the global financial crisis that started more than a decade ago and brought public criticism.</p>
<p>In 2014, Juan Carlos abdicated and his son ascended to the throne.</p>
