The son-in-law of Spain's King Juan Carlos arrived in court to testify before a magistrate Saturday as a suspect in a fraud scandal that has created unprecedented problems for the popular royal family.
Inaki Urdangarin, who was granted the title of Duke of Palma when he married the king's youngest daughter, Princess Cristina, in 1997, is under investigation for allegedly diverting public funds that were earmarked for his foundation for private use.
Urdangarin, with a serious look on his face and flanked by his lawyer, stopped briefly to make a statement to a group of reporters who were allowed inside a court-designated security zone.
"I am here today to demonstrate my innocence," Urdangarin said. "During these years I have carried out my responsibilities and have made decisions in a correct manner and with total transparency. My intention today is to clear up the truth about the facts."
FULL STORY
Typical of someone rich. They have millions and want more!
Who really is the peanut gallery.
rich people never steal... 🙂
You're right, Ruffie..they just "divert".
says right above that the money was ear-marked...
.
they should have known when the seen the money with ears stamped all over it it was going to be used for private use...
It's amazing that power, position & $$$ is not enough to keep a person from craving more, to the point of greed & theft! Wall Street Bankers, Big Biz/Big Oil; why Not throw Royalty in the mix! I guess he's been accused, but not yet proven guilty! So it's caused a lot of problems for the popular royal family, but I wonder how this affects the Spanish people!?
who cares? they are peasants and not royalty... when your royalty you can do what ever you want...
.
unless they have a guiliteen.. then you place nice...
Wrong country, Ruffie.
@Fernace. No habla englesh. Como? he he
@ Spanish People, for 1ce you don't have to speak ingles, you're in Spain for crissakes! And I suspect the royals wont be so popular anymore, if the $$$ was earmarked for the people!
