Sanchez Wife Set for Trial | Toronto News

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez faces mounting political fire as his wife, Begona Gomez, is set to go on trial for influence peddling and embezzlement — charges stemming from her role at Complutense University. The court has dropped other accusations and lifted her travel ban, though no trial date is set. Sanchez’s camp calls the case a politically driven smear by far-right groups, branding it harassment aimed at toppling his government. Meanwhile, his brother David was banned from public office for nine years over misconduct, adding to a wave of corruption allegations rocking the Socialist party. Opposition parties are demanding Sanchez’s resignation and early elections, accusing his administration of systemic graft — while Sanchez insists his government remains clean and will serve its full term until 2027.
