A Spanish judge has initiated an investigation into corruption allegations leveled against the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The allegations, filed by Manos Limpias, a private group known for pursuing legal cases primarily aligned with right-wing causes, accuse Begoña Gómez of leveraging her position to influence business dealings. Gómez, who holds no public office and maintains a low political profile, has been accused of using her position to influence business transactions. The court, based in Madrid, will now examine the allegations and determine whether to continue the investigation or dismiss it. This development has sparked political debate, with Justice Minister Félix Bolaños condemning the allegations as false. In response to questions about the integrity of the judicial system raised in Parliament, Prime Minister Sánchez affirmed his faith in the country’s legal system, emphasizing his belief in its ability to handle the allegations against his wife. The investigation is still in its early stages, and the court has not provided further details, noting that it is under seal. The outcome of the investigation remains uncertain, and it is up to the judicial system to determine the validity of the allegations and the potential consequences for those involved.
