How Wife of Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez Ended Up Facing Trial

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez threatened to quit two years ago when his wife, Begoña Gómez, was embroiled in a graft probe. Now he’s under pressure again after a judge said she should go on trial.

The case is one of four involving corruption allegations leveled at close relatives and associates of the Spanish leader. Sánchez’s brother is due to stand trial next month on charges of misconduct in public office. Two former top aides of the prime minister also face court hearings over accusations of bribery, influence peddling and criminal association.
