Begoña Gómez's university role under scrutiny

Published: 2024-07-19

Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, faces investigation over her role at Complutense University of Madrid.

The university has asked a judge to probe potential misappropriation related to software developed in Gómez's department.

Despite claiming unpaid leadership roles, financial records show Gómez received €5,500 for directing a chair and €15,000 for a master's program.

The university cites lack of cooperation in its internal investigation, prompting judicial involvement.

Gómez is set to testify as a suspect in a case involving influence peddling and business corruption allegations.
