The wife of one of the world's favourite James Bond actors, Sean Connery, is to stand trial over tax fraud allegations involving the sale of a mansion the couple owned in Spain.

Micheline Roquebrune faces a prison sentence of up to two and a half years and a fine of more than 16 million pounds if found guilty of charges that she took part in a complex operation to defraud Spanish authorities of nearly 5.5 million pounds during the sale of the couple's home in the Costa delSol region in the south of the country.

Sir Sean, 85, was also investigated over the alleged fraud but was told last year that he would not face trial after declaring his innocence in a 56-page affidavit, The Daily Telegraph reported.
