Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is contemplating the possibility of resigning following corruption charges levied against his wife, Begona Gomez. The charges against Gomez are believed to be politically motivated, according to Sanchez’s statements. The Prime Minister has suspended his schedule and is expected to make a decision on Monday.
In a development that has stirred political discourse in Spain, a private group called Manos Limpias has filed corruption allegations against Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The allegations centered around allegations that Gómez used her position to influence business deals. Despite holding no public office and maintaining a low political profile, the court has agreed to probe the allegations, leaving the judicial system to determine the validity of the claims. Prime Minister Sánchez has expressed his belief in the judicial system, while Justice Minister Félix Bolaños has dismissed the allegations as false.
A Spanish judge has reopened an investigation into suspected spying on Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s cellphone. The decision follows a request from France for collaboration on a similar probe. Both investigations concern the use of Pegasus spyware developed by the Israeli NSO Group. The spyware infiltrates devices to extract data and spy on owners.
