The High Court in London resumed proceedings on Tuesday previews of Corinna Larsen’s harassment lawsuit against King Juan Carlos I, which will last until Friday and may be conclusive in deciding whether there is UK jurisdiction for the case.
Corinna Larsen herself was present at the start of the sessions in room thirteen of the court, dedicated entirely to the arguments of the defense of Juan Carlosrepresented by a new law firm, Velitor Law, the third in two years of legal battle on British soil.
The judge Collin Rice heard during the first session the arguments of the lawyer Adam Wollanski, expert in defamation cases, who tried to discredit the King’s ex-lover by assuring how she maintained her friendship with him on the dates on which she claims that the harassment began and continued.
Wollanski specifically referred to statements by Corinna herself to various media outlets, including El Mundo, assuring that Juan Carlos “would continue to be a friend forever“
Wollanski used the word twice blackmail (blackmail) when illustrating Corinna’s attitude and stressed how it was changing his accusations, against factions within the royal house, against the National Intelligence Center (CNI) or against its former director Felix Sanz Roldanto end up personalizing his allegations against Juan Carlos himself.
