The wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Begoña Gómez, will face trial following accusations of influence peddling and corruption. The case centers around allegations including abuse of power, misappropriation of funds, and improper influence. Authorities previously revoked Gómez’s passport as part of the investigation. Specific charges include trafficking of influence, corruption, embezzlement, and misappropriation. The investigation was launched after complaints filed by a conservative political group, Manos Limpias, alleging Gómez used her position for personal gain. Sánchez has publicly denounced the accusations as a politically motivated smear campaign against him and his family. The trial’s proceedings are expected to be closely watched, potentially impacting the political landscape in Spain.
