A Spanish judge on Tuesday summoned Princess Cristina, the younger of King Juan Carlos’s two daughters, to appear for questioning on charges of tax fraud and money laundering. The court appearance is set for March 8.
Judge Jose Castro communicated the charge in an order summoning the parties to the corruption case involving the Noos Foundation, which was run by Cristina’s husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, the Duke of Palma.
Urdangarin and former partner Diego Torres are accused of embezzling more than 6 million euros ($7.7 million) after using the royal son-in-law’s connections to obtain lucrative, no-bid public contracts for the foundation.
