-Las discrepancias jurídicas entre el juez José Castro y el fiscal anticorrupción Pedro Horrach han quedado de manifiesto en la resolución dictada por el titular del Juzgado de Instrucción 3 de Palma, en la que cita a declarar a la hija del Rey. 27-06-2012 | Efe
-
 El fiscal Pedro Horrach está perfilando con el jefe de la Fiscalía Anticorrupción, Antonio Salinas, en Madrid, la estrategia jurídica que seguirá tras el auto dictado por el juez José Castro en el que acuerda citar en calidad de imputada a la infanta Cristina de Borbón y Grecia el próximo 8 de marzo en Palma por los delitos de blanqueo de capitales y contra la Hacienda Pública.
 
 Horrach duda si insistir en su postura de dejar al margen a la hija menor del Rey de los indicios incriminatorios citados por el instructor del ‘caso Nóos’, como ya lo hizo por escrito el pasado mes de noviembre o, por el contrario, se limita exponer de manera sucinta su punto de vista para apoyar el recurso que ya ha anunciado el abogado de la Infanta, Miquel Roca.
