Anniversary
A lucky break
The lives of the Marquis de Villaverde, Franco's vain son-in-law: from Carmencita's boyfriend to being fired by Felipe González
This Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Cristóbal Martínez-Bordiú, Franco's controversial son-in-law, manger of the immense family fortune thanks to his dubious businesses.
His privileged existence among hunts, saraos and casinos earned him the nickname 'marquis de vayavida'.
