Princess Cristina of Spain to stand trial on tax fraud charges

Spain’s Princess Cristina will stand trial on tax fraud charges on January 11, a court has announced.

She will be the first royal family member to stand trial since Spain’s monarchy was restored in 1975.

Cristina, the 50-year-old sister of King Felipe VI, was indicted as part of a four-year probe into her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, who faces charges of money-laundering and fraud.
