The Nóos case and those involved
The Nóos case has been one of the most notorious scandals in Spain in recent years. Although Iñaki Urdangarin is not the only one involved in this case, he is the only one who has paid the high price of going to prison. However, there are those who claim that the former Duke of Palma knows too many things about the Bourbons and threatens to use that information to his advantage.
A new beginning
After leaving prison after receiving the third degree, Iñaki Urdangarin began working at a law firm on the recommendation of a friend. It was there where he met Ainhoa Armentia, who is now his partner. Together, they have managed to rebuild their lives and enjoy a comfortable life thanks to the divorce with Infanta Cristina.
A million-dollar compensation
According to reports, Iñaki Urdangarin received compensation of two million euros for refusing to write a book in which he would reveal the secrets of the Bourbons. In addition, he also receives a monthly salary of 25,000 euros.
Financial support
Juan Carlos, father of Felipe VI, is in charge of financing the new life of Iñaki Urdangarin. However, it is expected that once the emeritus dies, Infanta Cristina will be responsible for the payments.
A life of luxury
Despite warnings from the Royal Family to keep a low profile, Iñaki Urdangarin has led a life of luxury. He travels first class, dines at the best restaurants and drives a luxury car. Although he has received reprimands from Juan Carlos and Infanta Cristina, he has stood up and made it clear that he will not accept recriminations.
The power of information
It is rumored that Iñaki Urdangarin would be willing to reveal many secrets, not only related to the Nóos case, but also about the lives of Felipe and Letizia. However, so far, he has only given one interview in which he did not reveal too much. We will have to wait and see if he decides to speak and what information he might reveal.
