Spanish King's brother-in-law to appeal fraud conviction

MADRID, Feb 21 (Reuters) The Spanish King's brother-in-law Inaki Urdangarin will appeal against a court conviction following a trial for fraud and tax evasion, for which he was sentenced to six years and three months in prison, his lawyer said today.
Urdangarin's wife, Princess Cristina, was acquitted of being an accessory to tax fraud at the end of the year-long trial, seen as a test of whether Spain's rich and powerful are accountable to the law.
Asked by journalists if he would appeal the verdict against Urdangarin in the Supreme Court, his lawyer Mario Pascual Vives said "Yes. I'm working on it".
