Begoña Gómez Seeks Swift Resolution in Legal Case

Published: 2024-07-26

Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is seeking to expedite the resolution of her legal case against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.

Her defense, led by former minister Antonio Camacho, has filed a rare plea urging the Madrid Provincial Court to address the matter before the scheduled date of September 30. They argue that delaying the decision could cause irreparable harm to Gómez and other defendants, citing numerous alleged violations of their rights during the ongoing investigation.

The defense claims the investigation has become vague and expansive, straying from its original focus.

They highlight serious procedural irregularities, including the improper handling of witness testimonies and the shifting nature of the case's focus.

The court's decision on whether to archive the case remains pending, with significant implications for Gómez and the integrity of the judicial process.
