Don’t believe that the money that never appeared after the scandal that sent Juan Carlos I’s son-in-law to prison has anything to do with this. No. But the point is that Iñaki Udangarin does not work and his ex-convict benefit barely amounts to 463 euros per month. However, He lives in luxury: the rent of the house he shares with his girlfriend, Ainhoa Armentia, It costs 1,600 euros per month; We have seen him skiing in Baqueira Beret with the Basque woman, spending the Easter holidays in Marrakech or just a few weeks ago traveling together to Cambodia to go see his daughter Irene, who volunteers with the Sauce Foundation in the Asian country. How can the former handball player lead that lifestyle without a known job and such a modest benefit?
The answer is in Justice. The current account of the former prisoner convicted in the Noos case is in good health thanks to an economic fund that has been increasing as a result of the payments that the Palma Court has made to him as compensation for the amount that Iñaki paid extra after his conviction, in terms of civil liability, as Silvia Taulés said.
Thus, while at the end of December 2022 the first section of the Palma Court agreed to return 201,174 euros (132,695.03 euros directly to Urdangarin’s account, and 68,479.97 euros to Infanta Cristina), recently, and according to their own legal sources, Iñaki would have received another 33,199.22 euros from the Palma Court. This balance in his favor comes after paying 1,200,000 euros “to the Balearic Community, to the Treasury, the fines, surcharges, sanctions, and the costs of the State Attorney’s Office and the Balearic Community – the corresponding part of his fees. professionals-“. It must be remembered that to gather that impressive figure, Iñaki got rid of all of his assets, including the well-known “Palacete de Padralbes” in Barcelona that he shared with the Infanta and where they formed his family. In addition, the ex-marriage had some more properties that he also sold.
Despite his solvency, they say that what weighs most on Iñaki is not getting anyone to hire him given his criminal past, despite having already settled his debt with justice and being a free citizen since April 9. The truth is that the possible negative impact that hiring him could generate stops companies from offering him a position, and he no longer has the influence of Casa Real at his disposal to get off the unemployment lists. Therefore, since he left prison there has not been a solid offer on the table for him.
Bomb signing of El Desafío
Only, yes, it seems that some attempt of a television nature, to sit on a set to talk, which he immediately ruled out. We will see if in the end the rumors that, as he said, are true Pilar Vidal, ran through the corridors of Antena 3 and positioned Urdangarin as one of the next bomb signings from El Desafío, something that Juan del Val later denied saying: “I assure you that I have not heard that name from any of the people responsible for casting.” Time will tell us whether or not Iñaki finally ends up giving in to the television proposals until he finds another source of income while he manages his estate. Because at that rate of expenses and leading that lifestyle, the funds, even if they come from Justice, also run out.
