A judge in Madrid, Spain, has officially approved a corruption indictment against Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Following a two-year investigation, Gómez faces four serious charges, including embezzlement and influence peddling, stemming from her previous roles at the Complutense University of Madrid. Investigators allege she leveraged her high-profile status to secure unfair advantages for specific companies, prompting additional charges against a government advisor and a local businessman. While Gómez denies the accusations and Prime Minister Sánchez dismisses the case as a coordinated political attack, opposition parties are now aggressively demanding early national elections. The impending jury trial is expected to be scheduled in the coming days, adding significant pressure to the current administration.
