Princess Cristina of Spain Is Charged in Corruption Case

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Vatic Note: I did this in two parts within the same blog. The first is how the royalty are treated in court compared to the average working stiff. The second confirms it with the rejection of her appeal to have all charges dismissed, and so she will be going to trial by the end of this year. Its going to be interesting to see how this turns out. Notice the decision to reject her appeal was in January 2015 and yet she won’t be going to trial until the end of this year. Nice.

It says in the protocols that the khazar zionists intend to go after the royalty they do not control. It appears her predecessor was not bothered by his corruption, and neither was her husband until her brother ascended the throne with a promise to clean up such corruption. That promise may have been what triggered this deal right here.

Khazars are well known for going after those who are a threat to their criminal mafia operations. As we all know, they have murdered a number of journalists who were on their tail. I won’t go into that here and now, rather just a way to see how much different we are treated than the royalty who come from the “bloodlines”. And just how different the bloodlines with integrity are treated if they go against the international khazar/zionist mafia. She is as much a victim here as we all are.

MADRID — The Spanish monarchy was dragged deeper into a corruption case on Wednesday when Princess Cristina was charged with tax fraud and money laundering by a judge investigating whether her husband and business associates had embezzled millions of dollars in public funds earmarked for sports events.

The royal household had hoped to contain the scandal to the princess’s husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, who has been at the heart of the corruption investigation.

The charges come less than a week after Cristina’s brother ascended to the throne as King Felipe VI, succeeding his father, King Juan Carlos I.

In his proclamation speech in Parliament on Thursday, Felipe promised lawmakers integrity and transparency as part of “a renovated monarchy for a new time.” Neither his sister nor his father attended the ceremony.

Cristina and her husband have denied wrongdoing in previous court appearances and are expected to appeal the latest charges.

The investigation has already lasted three years and has been led by José Castro, a judge based in Palma, on the Mediterranean island of Majorca. It has centered on whether Mr. Urdangarin used his royal credentials to secure inflated sports contracts from regional politicians for a foundation that he presided over, and then siphoned off millions to send to companies and offshore accounts that he and his business associates controlled.

Judge Castro filed fraud charges against 16 people on Wednesday, including Mr. Urdangarin; Diego Torres, his main former business associate; and several officials from the regional governments of the Balearic Islands and Valencia, which awarded the suspicious sports contracts. No date has yet been set for the start of the trial.

In a 167-page filing, Judge Castro said there was sufficient evidence that Cristina had profited personally and helped her husband with his suspect business activities. Mr. Urdangarin faces six separate sets of charges relating to fraud, tax evasion and embezzlement of public money.

Mercedes Coghen Alberdingk-Thijm, a former field hockey player who led Madrid’s failed bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, was also among those formally charged with fraud and misappropriation of public funds.

The royal household has long tried to distance itself from Mr. Urdangarin, who has denied that his wife and other members of the royal family had any direct involvement in the management of his foundation, the Nóos Institute. Mr. Urdangarin, a former Olympic handball player, became the duke of Palma in 1997 upon marrying Cristina.

This month, Juan Carlos, 76, said his surprise decision to abdicate in favor of his 46-year-old son was motivated by a desire to allow the next generation to “move to the front line.”

However, the monarchy’s problems have stretched beyond the inquiry into Mr. Urdangarin’s business dealings. Juan Carlos’s popularity had already slumped as a result of his misjudgment. In April 2012, the king was forced to issue an apology after going on an African elephant-hunting vacation that was seen as an affront to Spanish citizens enduring belt-tightening in a recession.

Royalists are hoping that Felipe, who has been personally untainted by the recent royal scandals, will help restore the image of the monarchy.

Correction: June 25, 2014
An earlier version of the headline with this article misspelled the princess’ given name. She is Cristina, not Christina.

Vatic Note: here is another one on the rejection of her appeal and the setting of a trial date.

Lawyers representing Princess Cristina of Spain have lodged an appeal against a judge’s decision to try her on charges of tax fraud.

The 49-year-old was indicted on 22 December as part of a four-year investigation into her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, who faces money-laundering and fraud charges.

She is the first member of the Spanish royal family ordered to stand trial since the monarchy was restored in 1975.

A court in Palma de Mallorca said the appeal was lodged on Friday. The trial, if held, is expected to take place towards the end of the year.

The indictment is a setback to efforts by her brother, King Felipe VI, to boost the family’s image after his scandal-plagued father abdicated six months ago.

(VN: it was not dropped but she won’t face trial until the end of the year and who knows what can happen between now and then. We will see if the Rothschilds step in to save her, if they do not, then she or her brother was a threat to their money scamming operation, and thus this would constitute a perfect blackmail situation, to force the king to back off on their criminal mafia operation. Who knows. We will see! )
