A "cracker" at the end of the year
Now it is getting tight in Spain for the Duke of Palma de Mallorca. Shortly before the end of the year, the judiciary in the Balearic capital announced that Inaki Urdangarin, husband of the Infanta Cristina, was to be interrogated by a coroner on 6 February as a defendant.
The more prolific handball professional is under suspicion of corruption . He is said to have embezzled millions of euros through a charitable foundation. For the Spanish media, this announcement is a premature New Year's Eve guru with a high level of attention. That a member of the royal family is brought to justice, it has not yet existed in this form. For the Bourbons, who, as is customary in Spain, only exchange their Christmas gifts on January 6, this is also an anticipated "beautiful" mess. Although King Juan Carlos has publicly distanced himself several times from his son-in-law Inaki Urdangarin, he may not yet know how he will ultimately decide on the corruption scandal. If the husband, Inaki Urdangarin, is convicted and convicted of his daughter, the King again deny him the ducal title and thus banish him from the royal house. What consequences this could have for Princess Cristina and her marriage is not yet foreseeable in Spain. In any case, the affair is anything but noble and brings the Royals in Madrid powerfully in distress, because they are already standing with their backs to the wall. As you know, Crown Prince Felipe and Crown Princess Letizia are far from enjoying the respect of the people that they must have had for a long time to lead the monarchy into a secure future in case of need.
