    The royal suspect: Spain's Princess Cristina linked to corruption scandal

    Spain's Royal Family lurched towards a new low point in what could be their

    most serious credibility crisis in decades when King Juan Carlos' daughter,

    Princess Cristina, was named as a suspect in a multimillion euro fraud and

    money-laundering case involving her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin.

    For the first time since modern Spanish democracy began in the mid-1970s

    , an inside member of the country's monarchy, once blessed with a squeaky-clean

    reputation, will now have to respond to a court summons in Palma de Mallorca on 27 April.

    As yet nobody has been charged in the case. But it has been gripping Spain for

    the past two years, thanks to a seemingly interminable spiral of allegations

    concerning Mr Urdangarin and the siphoning off of millions of euros of public money

    from regional government contracts to the supposedly non-profit making

    organisation, Nóos, he co-directed from 2004 to 2006.

    Since 2011, a welter of gory financial details from the case - alleged tax dodges

    of more than half a million euros via an NGO for children with terminal illnesses,

    apparent charges of €700,000 for a 13-page financial report for a football club stadium

    and the liberal use of offshore companies in Belize and the UK - has been leaking

    steadily from Spain's judicial system on to the front pages
