The wife of Spanish Socialist prime minister Pedro Sanchez must stand trial on corruption charges and has been banned from going abroad, a judge ruled on Saturday.
Begoña Gomez is suspected of using her position as the prime minister’s wife to secure work contracts. She denies any wrongdoing. The case was brought by far-right groups who oppose Sanchez’s party.
