Begoña Gómez charged with corruption

A Spanish court has ruled that there is sufficient evidence to bring Begoña Gómez to trial, creating a major political crisis for the Sánchez administration.

The investigation was triggered by a complaint from a group with far-right links, focusing on Gómez's roles at various educational and charitable institutions.

Prime Minister Sánchez, currently on a state visit to China, has defended his wife and characterized the charges as a politically motivated attack.

The legal proceedings are expected to begin in the coming months, even as Sánchez continues to push for closer economic ties with Beijing.
