Summary The court has withdrawn a subpoena against princess for questioning over public funds’ embezzlement.
MADRID (AP) - Princess Cristina, the daughter of Spain s King Juan Carlos, is under investigation for possible tax fraud and money laundering, the latest blow to the Spanish royal family s reputation.
Palma de Mallorca court judge Jose Castro on Friday asked tax authorities for information regarding Cristina s property and investments as well as finances relating to her partnership with her husband Inaki Urdangarin in a firm called Aizoon.
The court recently withdrew a subpoena against the 47-year-old princess for questioning over the alleged embezzlement of public funds by Urdangarin, but said she could still be called to answer questions regarding their finances.
Friday s decision comes after a year of health and image problems for the 75-year-old Juan Carlos, once one of Spain s most respected figures. There was no immediate comment from the palace.
