"Judge Juan Carlos Peinado stated that the investigation revealed sufficient indications of criminal conduct by Gomez, particularly concerning her management of a university chair that served as a means of private professional development."
"Gomez is accused of using public resources and personal connections to advance private interests, leading to formal charges of embezzlement, influence peddling, and misappropriation of funds."
"Sanchez has characterized the allegations against his wife as a right-wing attempt to undermine his government, amidst a backdrop of growing corruption scandals involving his inner circle."
Begona Gomez, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has been formally charged with corruption following a lengthy investigation. Judge Juan Carlos Peinado found sufficient evidence of criminal conduct related to her role in managing a chair at Complutense University. Gomez faces charges including embezzlement, influence peddling, and misappropriation of funds. Sanchez has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, asserting they are part of a right-wing effort to undermine his government. The outcome of the case will depend on the courts' decisions regarding a potential trial.
