Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has been charged with corruption after a two-year investigation. According to the court's decision, Gómez must stand trial over suspected corrupt practices. The investigation into the case began in April 2024. svet.sme.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
The charge concerns primarily the creation and running of a chair at the Complutense University of Madrid, which Gómez co-directed. Investigators accuse her of using her position as the prime minister's wife for illegitimate purposes. BBC World ↗
The case represents a serious challenge to the Spanish prime minister's position at a time when Sánchez is trying to strengthen Spain's international standing. He is currently on a visit where he is seeking to strengthen economic ties and Spain's position as a bridge between Beijing and the European Union. The charge against Gómez is likely to attract considerable attention from domestic and international media and could affect the country's political situation. teraz.sk ↗ Spiegel.de ↗
