Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez Considers Resignation Amid Wife’s Graft Probe

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is considering resigning after a court opened an investigation into his wife, Begona Gomez, on suspicion of graft. The probe revolves around Gomez’s alleged ties to private companies that received government funding or won public contracts, including a €475 million bailout for Air Europa. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the anti-corruption group Manos Limpias and has sparked a backlash from the right-wing Popular Party, which has accused Sanchez of conflicts of interest. Sanchez, who has denied any wrongdoing, says he will announce his decision on Monday.
