Spanish princess got '200 percent salary hike' in ten years...

A Spanish newspaper has reported that the salary paid by La Caixa to Spain’s scandal-hit Princess Cristina over the last ten years has tripled despite the national economic crisis and wage cuts elsewhere.

El Confidential reported on Friday that the Princess’s gross starting salary in 2004 was €83,000 ($112,000) a year but that for her current role as Director of Fundación La Caixa’s Social Area, which she currently carries out from Switzerland, she is paid €238,000.

Princess Cristina, the youngest daughter of Spain's King Juan Carlos, has been embroiled in investigations into allegations of corruption involving the Noos Foundation, which was run by her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin.

 He was accused of misuse of €6 million in public funds. Full story...
