What a nightmare! Esp. now the king (via his secretary & Corinna Sayn) seems to be caught in this web. I am surprised that the prime minister doesn't act to control the damage. Perhaps it is time to take away Cristina's succession rights a least (IF it is proven she was aware of the situation).

An MP for the Catalan nationalist party seems to think that abdication starts to become an option at this point.
The 45-year-old former Olympic handball player was jeered in February last year when he appeared in court to be questioned for the first time as part of the probe.
He will be grilled again at the court in Palma on Saturday, the same day that Carlos Garcia Revenga, secretary to the king's daughters Elena and Cristina is set to be questioned in the case.
Revenga will be questioned about his role at the Noos Institute and "his possible work as an advisor" to Urdangarin, the court source said.
The palace has said it would keep Garcia in his post and would take no action until he goes before the judge.
Earlier this month the court said it would begin freezing assets belonging to Urdangarin and his former business partner after they missed a deadline to pay bail of 8.2 million euros ($11.1 million).
Since the bail was applied in a civil case the two will not go to jail for not paying the sum.
