Spanish Prime Minister to Testify in Wife's Corruption Case

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is set to testify as a witness in a criminal investigation into allegations that his wife, Begoña Gómez, used her position to secure sponsors for a university master's degree course. The investigation was launched after it emerged that Gómez had held eight meetings with her husband at the Moncloa palace, sparking concerns about influence peddling. According to reports, Sánchez will be questioned by investigating judge Juan Carlos Peinado on July 30. However, Gómez has invoked her right to remain silent under questioning, which may raise questions about the extent of her involvement in the alleged corruption.
