The Duke of Palma will appear in court on February 6
Iñaki Urdangarin - Photo EFE Iñaki Urdangarin, the Duke of Palma and son in law of King Juan Carlos has now been indicted and called to declare to the court in Palma de Mallorca on February 6.
Judge José Castro is investigating him for alleged crimes of misuse of public funds, fraud, falsehood and perversion of the course of justice. He will have to ‘explain the final destination of the public funds received in Valencia and the Baleares and the fiscal treatment of the same’. The judge is also set to ask him whether there are any profits from the money received.
The case is a separate part of the Palma Arena case against the ex President of the Baleares, Jaume Matas and has been named by the police as ‘Operación Babel’.
The case summary, which includes part of his business interests in the Nóos Institute has now been published. It contains more than 2,000 sheets of investigations and indicates possible criminal activity linked to what should have been a non-profit organisation of which the Duke was President.
A statement from the Zarzuela Palace has said they ‘respect the actions of the judges’.
