A Spanish judge has ordered Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to surrender her passport and prohibited her from leaving the country. The decision stems from an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption. Details of the alleged corruption remain limited, but the case has generated significant political attention in Spain. The judge’s ruling prevents Gómez from departing Spain while the legal proceedings progress toward trial. This measure is intended to ensure her availability for questioning and potential court appearances. Sánchez has publicly denounced the investigation as politically motivated, claiming it is an attempt to undermine his government. The case is expected to further escalate political tensions within Spain.
