Iñaki Urdangarin, Duke of Palma de Mallorca Iñaki Urdangarín y Liebaert, Duke of Palma de Mallorca (born 15 January 1968), is a retired handball player. He is the husband of the Infanta Cristina, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, the second child of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía of Spain. Contents Personal life[edit] The Ducal Consort is the son of Juan María Urdangarín Berriochoa (b. Zumárraga, 19 September 1932 - d. Vitoria-Gasteiz, 10 May 2012) and wife Claire Françoise Liebaert Courtain (b. Antwerp, 16 July 1935), of Spanish Basque and Belgian (both Walloon and Flemish) descent respectively. He has six siblings. His paternal grandparents Laureano de Urdangarín y Larrañaga (1898–1982) and wife Ana de Berriochoa y Elgarresta (1902–1996) came from Basque minor nobility.[citation needed] Sports career[edit] At the age of 18, Urdangarín became a professional handball player with FC Barcelona Handbol, where he remained until his retirement in 2000. Meanwhile, he studied at the Escuela Superior de Administración y Dirección de Empresas (ESADE) in Barcelona, from which he received a master's degree in business administration. As a member of the Spanish handball team, he participated in the 1992, 1996, and 2000 Summer Olympics, serving as team captain in 2000. The team won the bronze medal in 1996 and 2000. Marriage and children[edit] It was at the 1996 games in Atlanta that he met the Infanta Cristina, whom he married in Barcelona on 4 October 1997. Upon his marriage, Urdangarín became jure uxoris The Most Excellent The Duke of Palma de Mallorca (Spanish: Excelentísimo Señor El Duque de Palma de Mallorca). The Duchess and Duke have four children, all born in Barcelona: - His Excellency Don Juan Valentín de Todos los Santos Urdangarín y de Borbón (born 29 September 1999) - His Excellency Don Pablo Nicolás Sebastián de Todos los Santos Urdangarín y de Borbón (born 6 December 2000) - His Excellency Don Miguel de Todos los Santos Urdangarín y de Borbón (born 30 April 2002) - Her Excellency Doña Irene de Todos los Santos Urdangarín y de Borbón (born 5 June 2005) They lived in Barcelona until 2009, where the Duke was director of planning and development for Motorpress Ibérica and a founding partner of Nóos Consultoría Estratégica. From 2009-2011, the Royal couple and their family lived in Washington, D.C., where he worked for Telefónica, before returning to Barcelona. In August 2013, Infanta Christina moved with her four children to Geneva, Switzerland, to take a job with the Caixa Foundation, while her husband, who is the subject of an embezzlement investigation, remained in Barcelona.[1] The Duke has been a member of the Spanish Olympic Committee since 4 April 2001, and was elected first deputy chairman on 16 February 2004. In 2001, the Duke of Palma received the Grand Cross of the Spanish Royal Order of Sports Merit (Real Orden del Mérito Deportivo).[2] Alleged corruption and money laundering scandal[edit] In November 2011, the Duke was accused of diverting public funds for his own profit through the Nóos institute in the 'Palma Arena' case.[3] Searches were conducted at the Nóos institute by the Spanish Anticorruption bureau.[4] The daily El País has released a suspicious budget document for one international event that was organized by the aforementioned institute which was managed by Urdangarín at that time.[5] It is believed that he persuaded various Spanish public administrations (mostly regional governments) to sign agreements with his company, the Nóos Institute (which was supposed to be a non-profit organization) for both work that was never done and work that was dramatically overbudgeted up to €5,800,000 from public Administrations.[6] In December 2011, the Anticorruption Bureau confirmed that the Duke had been sending substantial sums of public money to accounts in Belize and the United Kingdom. That same month, the Royal Household of Spain announced that it had decided that the Duke of Palma was not going to participate in any official Royal Family activity for the foreseeable future, as a result of the Instituto Nóos scandal. In the King's Christmas speech on 24 December 2011, King Juan Carlos stated that "La justicia es igual para todos" ("Justice is the same for everyone"); the following day he clarified that he was speaking generally.[7] On 6 February 2012, Urdangarin appeared before a judge regarding allegations of corruption.[8] He is being investigated, with 14 others, including Jaume Matas, former premier of the Balearics.[9][10] He appeared again on 25 February 2012 in Mallorca to answer questions before the investigating judge, José Castro. On January 26, 2013 the Spanish royal household removed the section covering the Duke of Palma, Inaki Urdangarin from its official website.
