A Spanish judge has ordered Infanta Cristina, sister of King Felipe VI, to stand trial for tax fraud, marking the first time a royal family member faces such charges since the monarchy's restoration in 1975. Despite a prosecutor's recommendation for a fine, Judge José Castro insists on a trial. Cristina could face up to four years in prison for her alleged role in her husband Iñaki Udargarín's tax fraud between 2007 and 2008. Udargarín is accused of embezzling $6.9 million in public funds through a nonprofit. The case has tarnished the monarchy's image, contributing to King Juan Carlos's abdication.
