barcelona - It still offered a somewhat uneasy sight: the Spanish 'Infanta' Cristina in the dock, along with sixteen others, including her husband, former handball international Inaki Urdangarín. Princess's husband is on trial for money laundering and tax evasion, and was there for 26 years in prison can get.


         Cristina itself is only heard on suspicion of tax evasion. At worst, they might end up to eight years behind bars. It is the first time that someone from the Spanish royal family to appear in court.
Under enormous media interest reported Cristina de Borbón, sister of the Spanish King Felipe IV, and her husband joined the court in Palma de Mallorca. It was filmed in the courtroom, where both Cristina and her husband sat in the back row, but four seats apart. Cristina was thereby erect, her nervousness tried to keep hidden. Her husband looked verontruster out. He is also the prime suspect in the case Noos.
It is a mega affair with 89 indictments, 18 defendants, 76 000 pages of paperwork, in which 363 witnesses will be heard. Urdangarín and his former business partner Diego Torres are suspected of money laundering, forgery of documents and forgery. They would more than six million of public funding (involving the regions of Valencia and the Balearic Islands) destined for sporting activities are diverted to private accounts.
Princess Cristina is there not involved (an earlier accusation of Laundering let justice fall), but she is sometimes accused of tax evasion. Through a joint company of Cristina and Inaki, aizoon, they would have spent under the money in dance classes and children, after she claimed in 2007 and 2008 tax deductions.
What is clear in any case, is that the case damages the image of the Spanish royal family. King Felipe IV is trying to correct by jacking, after the popularity of the royal family under his father fell to record lows. Since playing the Noószaak, keep the rest of the family from Cristina. Felipe took away his sister last year, even the title of Duchess of Palma de Mallorca. Christmas also brought Cristina, against the habit, not with her family in the palace by, but in Geneva.
