Sánchez and Gómez File Complaints Against Judge

Published: 2024-08-03

The legal troubles surrounding Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, are intensifying as she and her husband both file complaints against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.

Gómez is under investigation for alleged corruption and influence peddling, and her defense claims that Peinado has acted arbitrarily and leaked confidential information.

Meanwhile, Sánchez, who recently testified as a witness, has also accused Peinado of prevarication, arguing that the investigation is politically motivated.

The situation has drawn significant media attention, with international outlets highlighting the unprecedented nature of a sitting prime minister being called to testify.

As the legal proceedings unfold, both Sánchez and Gómez are seeking to dismiss the case, asserting that no substantial evidence of wrongdoing has been presented.
