Spanish PM's Wife Accused of Corruption: Scandal Erupts
Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez, charged with embezzlement, influence peddling, and misuse of public funds in university scandal.
In a shocking turn of events, Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has been charged with a slew of corruption-related offenses following a two-year investigation by a judge in Madrid. Gómez, 55, stands accused of using her influence as the prime minister's spouse to secure a position at Madrid's Complutense University and then leveraging public resources and personal connections to further her own private interests.
The investigation, which was triggered by a group with far-right links, alleges that Gómez engaged in embezzlement, influence peddling, corruption in business dealings, and misappropriation of funds. Prosecutors claim that the prime minister's wife exploited her position to gain unfair advantages and line her own pockets, all while siphoning off public resources for personal gain.
