I'm just now starting to read up on the SRF and actually it seems like a ginormous pile of worms. As far as getting away with something just because he is King puts to mind breaking his hip hunting elephants in Botswana while being an honorary president of the WWF.
To me that gives credence to the fact that this is a man that proclaims one thing and does another just because he has the power to do so. The more I read, the more I believe that JC is a legend in his own mind.

Juan Carlos cannot be compared to other monarchs. He was handpicked by Franco, surpassed his own father, inherited the dictator's full powers that he only handed back when transforming Spain into a democracy. During that time, he formed lots of liasions with powerful people, inside & outside Spain, there is an enormous network behind him.
Just because his public image has been tarnished and his is known as the elephant killer now, doesnt mean he has lost his power. Most of his buddies don't have a good image either and the public doesn't think much of many of them but who cares, as long as the behind-the-scenes power continues to exist.
Inaki has always benefitted from JC's network, be it Corinna and her contacts, Telefonica or now Qatar.

Cristina's Court Hearing Delayed
Cristina's scheduled court appearance on April 27 has been postponed. No new date will be set until a judicial panel reviews the two opposing sides to determine if there is sufficient effidence to question her.

Caso Nos: La Infanta recurre su imputacin alegando que 'jams han existido indicios' | elmundo.es
the lawyers of the infanta are saying that she shouldn't be questioned, that there is not sufficient evidence, that torres is a liar, and that cristina "is a public figure".
i am amazed by the last two arguments:
-the lawyers of cristina openly classify torres as a liar, as if it it was their job to judge. the only one allowed to judge is, well... the judge.
-justifying the opposition to the questioning because cristina "is a public figure": enough said.

Inaki's business partner has been trying to show that the King and Cristina were complicit in Inaki's business dealings. Here is another document that shows JC and Cristina were very aware of Inaki's continued business after he was being forced out of Noos.

Maybe because you haven't done much research except reading posts here.

Inaki's business partner is going to do anything that can deflect his own position.
Juan Carlos has made many mistakes up and including trying to protect his daughter. I refuse to believe though, that he would have condoned Inaki's business has he known their full extent of his corruption. JC is neither idiot or stupid. He negotiated the transition in Spain and knows full well where the political landmines lay.
Emails can be presented to Court by the defence without proper sequence context. It'd be the judge who decides if this is another tactic presented by the Torres' defence to deflect and blame.
