BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s wife charged with corruption.
Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spain's far-left socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has been formally charged with multiple corruption-related offenses, including influence peddling, business corruption, embezzlement, and misappropriation.
The investigation began in April 2024 following a complaint by the anti-corruption group Manos Limpias, which accused Gómez of using her position to influence public contracts and secure university sponsorships.
At the time, Pedro Sánchez took a five-day "period of reflection" to consider resigning over the allegations before ultimately deciding to remain in office.
