PALMA DE MAJORCA, Spain - Spanish King Juan Carlos's son-in-law Inaki Urdangarin worked on Saturday to distance the royal family from a corruption scandal that has struck at the heart of the palace.
Urdangarin, husband of the king's youngest daughter Cristina, was questioned by a judge investigating allegations that he embezzled millions of euros of public money paid to Noos, a charity he managed. "The royal family did not give its opinion on, advise or authorise the activities of Noos," Urdangarin told the judge, according to a copy of his declaration published by Spanish media.
