Secretary to Spain's princesses to be quizzed over alleged fraud involving king's son-in-law
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The secretary to Spain's two princesses is to be questioned in court in a probe of suspected fraudulent deals involving the king's son-in-law.
The court in the Mediterranean island of Mallorca said Tuesday that Carlos Garcia Revenga will be quizzed Feb. 23.
Garcia Revenga is secretary to Princess Elena and Princess Cristina.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Cristina is married to Inaki Urdangarin who is also to appear Feb. 23.
Urdangarin has not been charged but is a suspect in the case in which he and his business partner allegedly funneled about €5 million ($6.7 million) in public money their nonprofit foundation received between 2004 and 2006 to other companies they controlled.
The case has proved damaging to the royal household at a time when Spain is suffering a severe recession and 25 percent unemployment.
