Begoña Gómez charged with corruption

A judge in Madrid issued the charges of embezzlement and misappropriation of funds, placing further political pressure on Sánchez's minority government.

Both Gómez and the Prime Minister have denied any wrongdoing, characterizing the investigation as a politically motivated attack.

The court will now decide whether the case will proceed to a full trial.

This development follows months of intense scrutiny and has become a central point of contention for Spain's political opposition.
