A Spanish prosecutor has called for charges against Princess Cristina
de Borbón, the sister of King Felipe VI, to be dropped in a
high-profile case relating to her husband’s allegedly corrupt business
practices. Pedro Horrach, the state prosecutor, asked the presiding judge José
Castro to throw out two counts of tax fraud resulting from a private
prosecution brought against Cristina by a pseudo trade union, Manos
Limpias (Clean Hands), which demanded an eight-year prison sentence and a
€2m fine.
The state is seeking a 19-and-a-half-year sentence for her husband,
Iñaki Urdangarin, and a total of 103 years’ jail for him and his
associates if convicted.
What needs to be brought to attention in order for her to be prosecuted is how is she involved. Did she sign documents, did she have knowledge and said nothing of the sort. I hope this case is thrown out of court if the necessary documentation is not brought out as evidence to prosecute Princess Cristina De Borbon.
