A Spanish judge has broadened the investigation into allegations against Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, adding two new potential crimes to the case. Judge Peinado held a preliminary hearing on Monday regarding the main part of the investigation, a necessary step towards potentially bringing Gómez to trial. Details of the newly added alleged offenses have not been publicly disclosed. The initial investigation centered on accusations of influence peddling and corruption. This development marks a significant escalation in the legal challenges facing the Prime Minister’s family. The case has drawn considerable political attention and criticism from opposition parties. Sánchez has publicly denounced the investigation as politically motivated.
