A prolonged negotiation process
After an extensive negotiation process, Iñaki Urdangarin managed to get Infanta Cristina to sign the divorce documents in January of this year. Over the past few years, the couple has been searching for a solution to their marital situation, and finally found a chance to resolve it before a notary, thus avoiding a public trial that could have exposed uncomfortable details. However, this process was extended until January due to various factors.
A favorable agreement for Urdangarin
The divorce agreement resulted in favorable compensation for Iñaki Urdangarin. According to Juan Luis Galiacho, director of ‘El Cierre Digital’, Urdangarin received compensation of two million euros for not publishing a book with his memoirs that he had supposedly written in prison. In addition, he was granted a lifetime monthly income of between 25,000 and 50,000 euros, which would be managed by Juan Carlos I. This agreement has generated controversy and has been the subject of debate in the media.
The place of signing and the clauses of the contract
It has been speculated that the divorce was signed in Geneva, while the procedure carried out in Barcelona was only symbolic. The divorce contract stipulates that Iñaki Urdangarin did not receive compensation or pension, and that both he and Cristina must cover the expenses of their children based on their income. In addition, it is mentioned that Infanta Cristina included clauses to limit Urdangarin’s relationship with her new partner, Ainhoa Armentia. However, some people question the veracity of this contract and suggest that there were additional agreements that were struck in Geneva.
The concealment theory and the financial agreement
Maica Vasco has put forward the theory that this entire divorce process was a strategy to cover up the sum of money that Juan Carlos I provided to Urdangarin to ensure his silence. According to this theory, the real financial agreement was closed in Geneva, allowing Urdangarin to leave without officially receiving any compensation. This theory suggests that the divorce in Barcelona was just a facade to hide the true situation.
Conclusions
In summary, the divorce of Iñaki Urdangarin and Infanta Cristina has been the result of a long process of negotiations. The divorce agreement has primarily favored Urdangarin, who has received significant financial compensation. Additionally, there has been speculation about the location of the contract signing and the clauses included in it. Some theories suggest that this process has been a strategy to cover up additional financial agreements. In short, the divorce of this royal couple has been the subject of controversy and debate in the media.
