Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, faces allegations of irregularities in her role at Complutense University of Madrid.

The university's internal audit revealed at least one 'irregular' contract awarded by Gómez as director of the Chair of Competitive Social Transformation.

The People's Party (PP) has filed questions in Congress demanding an investigation.

The university has asked a judge to investigate possible 'misappropriation' after finding 'indications' of wrongdoing.

Gómez is accused of registering a university-developed software platform under her own name.

The case has sparked political controversy, with some calling for the university rector's resignation over the handling of Gómez's appointment.
