tax fraud that also includes her husband and 15 others charged with an
alleged scheme to defraud millions in public contracts for sports events

Pau Molins urged a panel of three judges to
"restore justice" for Cristina during final defense arguments in the
trial that also includes her husband and 15 others charged with an
alleged scheme to defraud millions in public contracts for sports events
and conferences.
Prosecutors are seeking a 19-year jail sentence for
Cristina's husband Inaki Urdangarin, an Olympic handball medalist
turned entrepreneur. His lawyers on Tuesday also insisted that he
committed no crimes and should be cleared by the panel.
A prosecutor and a state attorney representing
Spanish tax authorities have said officials agreed she committed no
crimes and should face at most an administrative fine for tax evasion.
The judges could take weeks or months to issue verdicts.
