Iñaki Urdangarin’s alleged payments for their separation
Iñaki Urdangarin has never confirmed receiving money for their separation. However, journalist Juan Luis Galiacho, director of ‘El Cierre Digital’, exclusively stated that Urdangarin demanded payments ranging between 25,000 euros and 50,000 euros per month, in addition to a fixed payment of two million. All this in exchange for not publishing memoirs that he wrote while he was in prison serving a sentence for the Nóos case, in which he revealed compromising secrets of Juan Carlos I, his powerful friends and other members of the royal house, as well as for having been the scapegoat in the trial and having exonerated Infanta Cristina.
Nobody in the royal house nor Iñaki have confirmed that this information is real. In fact, Galiacho pointed out that Urdangarin would collect part of this money outside of Spain, so he would not be registered with the treasury either. Furthermore, the former handball player has always been proclaiming that he has no money. It is said that he has even asked his friends to pay for his coffees.
Iñaki Urdangarin’s lifestyle
However, the life he leads in front of the gallery indicates the opposite while also demonstrating that Iñaki must have some income. And he is living a life of luxury with Ainhoa Armentia, his new romantic partner.
It is known that a house on the outskirts of Vitoria is being renovated. A home that they have rented with the right to purchase, the price of which is not exactly that of a subsidized apartment. Furthermore, they have not hidden when they have gone on trips and have stayed in five-star hotels.
The contrast between his statements and his lifestyle
“This man leads a life far above any middle-class family, when with a release subsidy of 436 euros he should lead a lower-class life,” points out expert Maica Vasco on her YouTube channel. “436 euros, which is surely what he spends in a single night dining at one of the restaurants he likes, which are super luxury and there are bottles of champagne for 2,000 euros per bottle. “We’re not stupid… what I would have to do is resign,” adds Vasco. Of course, this pace of life does not fit with what a person who, as Iñaki says, has no money, should lead.
