Madrid Court Narrows Investigation on Begoña Gómez

Published: 2024-10-07

The Provincial Court of Madrid has decided to narrow the scope of the investigation against Begoña Gómez, wife of Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, focusing on her connections with businessman Juan Carlos Barrabés and her role at the Complutense University of Madrid.

The court ruled out any investigation related to Globalia unless new incriminating evidence emerges.

This decision partially supports the appeals from both the prosecution and Gómez's defense.

The investigation, led by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, centers on allegations of influence peddling and corruption.

The court emphasized that the inquiry is not speculative but based on rationally suspicious conduct.

The case continues to unfold as the court allows further examination of Gómez's professional activities and her ties with Barrabés.
