Spanish PM's Wife Refuses to Answer Corruption Questions

Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, faced allegations of influence peddling and corruption in court. She chose to remain silent during questioning, prompting criticism from right-wing opposition groups. Gómez's lawyer argued that the investigation lacked clear goals and that her silence was advised due to legal uncertainties. The accusations suggest she used her position to secure public contracts and funding for a university program she directs. Despite police reports finding no criminal activity, questions about ethical boundaries arise. Prime Minister Sánchez has denied any wrongdoing on his wife's part, emphasizing the unsubstantiated nature of the allegations.
