MADRID, June 25 (RAPSI) - Judge Jose Castro has charged Infanta Cristina, sister of Spain’s newly enthroned King Felipe VI, with crimes against the state treasury and money laundering, El Mundo reports Wednesday.

According to the judge’s ruling, the daughter of former Spanish king Juan Carlos I is an accomplice in the tax evasion crimes committed by her husband, Iñaki Urdangarín, in 2007 and 2008 – specifically, failure to pay income tax. Infanta Cristina is also charged with money laundering concerning funds obtained illegally through the Noos Institute, which her husband once managed.

The judge also noted that Urdangarín’s tax crimes could have hardly been committed without his wife’s awareness or participation. He said that there is evidence that Cristina de Borbon was directly involved in Iñaki Urdangarín’s activities.

The husband of Spanish King Felipe VI’s sister, Iñaki Urdangarín, is charged with embezzling 5.8 million euros of public money. Another defendant in the case is his former partner at Noos, Diego Torres, prosecuted for overpricing services provided by the administration of one of the Spanish cities.

The money obtained from the services was transferred to the accounts of companies under his control. The two men are also charged with fraud, abuse of trust and power, and embezzlement of public funds.
