The daughter of King Juan Carlos, Princess Cristina, was charged on April 3, by the judge investigating the Nóos corruption scandal, in which her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, has already been implicated. “For the first time, a judge is to investigate a member of the royal family for corruption,” remarks the newspaper.
According to the magistrate, emails revealed with the help of Diego Torres, Urdangarin’s former business partner, prove that the princess "cooperated" and “gave her assent” to her husband’s business activities.
Princess Cristina is due to appear before the judge on April 27. The royal household has expressed its "surprise" at the decision, and the anti-corruption prosecutor, who has already said he does not support with the prosecution, has announced he will file an appeal to have it cancelled.
