[5] In June 2015, Yllanes was appointed to judge Infanta Cristina of Spain – daughter of Juan Carlos I and sister of Felipe VI – her husband Iñaki Urdangarin and several others in the Nóos case.

[6] He left the case and the judicial profession in November, so he could lead Podemos's list in the Balearics in the 2015 Spanish general election.

Earlier in the year, he was the only Podemos deputy to not sign an initiative supporting the perpetrators of the Altsasu incident in which two off-duty Civil Guards and their girlfriends were beaten in Navarre.

[7] During the dispute in Podemos between Pablo Iglesias and Íñigo Errejón, Yllanes backed the latter, but years later ruled out joining his new Más País party.

He called for national party leader Ione Belarra to resign, and alleged that she and Pablo Echenique only remained in politics due to unspecified "interests".
