The legal troubles of the Sánchez family: Travel restrictions on the PM's wife
Political turmoil in Spain: A local court has decided to impose a series of restrictions on Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, as part of a criminal investigation into suspected corruption.
According to reports in Turkish media channels Sondakika Haber Gündem and Son Dakika Haberleri, the court ordered Gómez to surrender her passport, prohibited her from leaving the borders of Spain, and mandated that she report to judicial authorities once every two weeks. The move is intended to ensure her appearance for further legal proceedings.
The Haber Gündem channel noted that while Gómez denies all allegations against her, the Socialist Party in Spain was quick to react to the legal steps. According to the channel, party members claim this is part of a "process of judicial and political pressure" exerted against the family.
The affair, referred to by the media as an "expanding corruption case," continues to stir the political system in Spain and places the Prime Minister's office under significant public scrutiny.
