Why has John McAfee's body still not been released by authorities in Spain? (As of 2023-02-10)
John Mcafee is the founder and former CEO of antivirus software company McAfee, which was acquired by Intel in 2014. He went into hiding following a police raid on his home during an investigation related to his wife's death and has since sought asylum in Guatemala. The Spanish government granted him residency but he has yet to formally depart the country. It is not clear what legal basis they have for holding his remains pending release, although it may be required that they receive consent from next of kin before releasing them.
