History tells that it is happening first in royal family history that any family member of royal family will face court about allegations of fraud.
According to news; Spanish royal family was battered by further scandal on Tuesday when the youngest daughter of King Juan Carlos was named as a formal suspect in a long-running corruption inquiry.
By the information; Princess Cristina, 48, has been summoned to answer allegations of money laundering and tax evasion. The princess would be the first member of the king’s family to appear in court since the restoration of the monarchy in 1975. The charges relate to alleged embezzlement by her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin.
The former Olympic handball player and his business partner, Diego Torres, are accused of siphoning off €5.8m (£4.8m) of public funds. The princess will now have to testify in Palma de Mallorca on 8 March.
How much Cristina knew of her husband’s allegedly shady activities is hotly contested. Cristina and Urdangarin deny any wrongdoing. Last year the investigating judge, José Castro, targeted the princess for the first time, only for Mallorca’s provincial court to throw out his ruling.
After gathering further evidence Castro named Cristina on Tuesday as an official suspect for a second time. A more senior judge may again decide that the princess should be spared from giving evidence.
Further news will provide after court action and soon show you the result.
