Spanish Prime Minister's Wife on Trial for Corruption, Banned from Leaving

The wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will stand trial on corruption charges and has been banned from leaving the country, a judge ruled on Saturday.

Begoña Gómez is under investigation for allegations that she used her position as the prime minister's wife to secure job contracts and other benefits. She has denied all charges. The case was brought by far-right groups in Spain.

Investigating judge Juan Carlos Peinado ordered Gómez to surrender his passport, banned him from leaving Spanish territory and forced him to appear in court twice a month.

This is one of several corruption investigations that are approaching the trial stage or have already entered legal proceedings, adding to the pressure on Sánchez, one of the few left-wing leaders currently remaining in power in Europe.

The prime minister himself has not been named as a suspect in any of these cases and has stated that they are part of a political campaign aimed at removing him from power.

The Socialist Party reacted immediately after the judge's decision, writing on the social network X that: "Begoña has been subjected to judicial and political persecution for two years. Today's development is just another step in this process."

Meanwhile, several close allies of Sánchez, including the Socialist Party's number three and a former transport minister, are being investigated in cases related to alleged bribes in public projects, oil and gas contracts, and the procurement of masks during the pandemic. They too have denied any wrongdoing.

In a separate case, Spain's Supreme Court announced it is investigating former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero over allegations that he ran a network that profited from lobbying public institutions on behalf of third parties, including the airline Plus Ultra. Zapatero has categorically denied the allegations.
