I wonder if she sports the goofy ear-to-ear grin throughout the questioning inside...like we saw her while entering and leaving the court last time..
It works much better than the oh-poor-me-so-ignorant to convince the jury of her "naivette"..

Note that the Office of the Public Prosecutor of the State (Fiscalía-General del Estado), the Public Prosecutor of the Baleares ánd the Tribunal in Mallorca have seen no grounds for prosecution. The Infanta is "only" accused of tax avoiding, now eight and nine years ago, by a private prosecution request filed by the action group "Clean Hands".
The Tribunal decided that the Infanta should be heared indeed. That is it. The action group of course will demand the highest possible terms. However the demand for eight years of imprisonment for tax evasion in 2007 and 2008 is ridiculous. Plus that the Public Prosecutors of both the State as well the Baleares already saw not enough evidence and circumstances to build a succesful prosecution of the Infanta which could make any chance in a lawsuit. So all by all, most likely it will not be too spectacular, the outcome.

I would guess the post meant the term "big brother" rather than the family relationship.

an interesting article in el mundo about how inaki and cristina are living the trial, particularly mentioning that they have assumed and mentalised that inaki will most likely go to prison. cristina is apparently thinking how she was going to visit him in prison (photos of her entering the prison to visit him would be worth a lot) and inaki is under psychological treatment.
they mention that juan carlos and felipe asked inaki to leave behind his 'affairs', which hints that they both knew what was going on, and that the head of the royal house visited inaki in USA to ask cristina the same to which she confronted him defending inaki.
they also speak about cristina's love at first sight with inaki and how they met.

i believe the press were speculating on where they would stay the night, ruling out marivent, so i guess they will come in at least this evening. my guess is that the trial starts quite early in the morning.

From New York Times:
Princess Cristina of Spain is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, accused of tax fraud as part of a corruption case centered on money embezzled from public contracts that is bringing a member of the country’s royal family to trial for the first time.
Cristina’s return to court is widely seen as a crucial test for the Spanish monarchy at a time when the institution has steadily improved its image since Felipe took over from his father.

I sincerely hope they are at home in Geneva, going to school and continuing their routine. They must have enough resources that some adult can stay with them.
