Urdangarin Says Infanta Cristina Knew of His Relationship Before Tabloid Photos

The book, due Feb. 12, lays out his path from conviction to a new life.

Overview

  • In a forthcoming memoir, Iñaki Urdangarin claims Cristina was aware of his partner before Lecturas published photos revealing the relationship.
  • He writes that his children had not been told at the time and admits his handling of the disclosure made the situation very painful.
  • Urdangarin says he met Ainhoa Armentia while working at an advisory firm in Vitoria during his third-degree prison regime.
  • He alleges that in 2010 King Juan Carlos sent Fernando Almansa to urge a divorce, a request he says Cristina rejected.
  • The memoir, Todo lo vivido, is presented as his attempt to close a difficult chapter and focus on family life, with these accounts reported by El Norte de Castilla.
