Spain: Princess’ Husband Links Palace Aides to Fraud Case

Princess Cristina’s husband told a Spanish court Wednesday that palace officials oversaw the princess’ tax dealings and were aware of his business operations at the Noos Institute, which is at the center of a tax-and-embezzlement trial in which the couple and 15 others are accused. Inaki Urdangarin told prosecutors he never made any decisions without consulting one palace official who handled the princess’ affairs and that another official representing the royal household oversaw his wife’s taxes. Cristina, sister of King Felipe VI, is the first Spanish royal to face criminal charges since the monarchy’s 1975 restoration.
