Summary
AP A judge on Saturday ordered the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to face trial on charges of influence peddling and corruption, and to surrender her passport. Begoña Gomez is suspected of using her position as the prime minister's wife to secure work contracts. Sánchez has called the case against her part of a smear campaign by conservative political opponents to topple his left-wing government, which has been in power since 2018.
Furthermore, Investigative judge Juan Carlos Peinado issued the ruling, arguing that Begoña Gómez represented a flight risk. The Socialist Party posted on the messaging platform X: "(Begoña) has been subjected to judicial and political persecution for two years. The case is one of several corruption probes nearing or already at trial that are weighing on Sanchez, one of Europe's few remaining leftist leaders.
