Begoña Gómez Charged With Corruption

A Spanish judge has officially indicted Begoña Gómez on multiple counts, including corruption in business and misappropriation of public funds.

The charges stem from allegations that she used her position as the prime minister's wife to advance her professional career and secure government contracts for associates.

Both Gómez and Sánchez have denied any wrongdoing, describing the probe as a politically motivated attack.

The development has placed significant pressure on Sánchez's minority government as opposition parties call for his resignation.
