Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is under investigation for alleged influence peddling and private sector corruption.

Her court appearance, initially scheduled for Friday, has been postponed to July 19th after she claimed to be unaware of the specific accusations.

The opposition Popular Party (PP) has accused Gómez of exploiting her position for personal gain, particularly regarding her work at a university.

PP leaders have likened the Sánchez-Gómez duo to 'Spain's Kirchners,' suggesting they believe themselves above the law.

The case has intensified political tensions, with the PP demanding explanations from Sánchez and criticizing the government's handling of the situation.
