Behind the dirty, sexy, saga of the Spanish crown...

The sister of the King of Spain, the glamorous Infanta Cristina, is accused of being part of a network of industrial-level corruption and tax evasion.

In one of the most humiliating events to strike European royalty in living memory, the Infanta Cristina, the once-glamorous little sister of the king of Spain, this week became the first Spanish royal ever to appear in court charged with a criminal act.

The sixth-in-line to the throne made her reluctant appearance on Monday alongside her husband, IƱaki Urdangarin, a former Olympic handball player, amidst tight security.

The two stand accused of being part of a network of industrial-level corruption and tax evasion, and of effectively robbing the country of several million euros while it was experiencing its worse financial crisis in decades, which resulted in a national bail-out by the European authorities. Full story...
