Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has agreed to prosecute Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, for alleged crimes of influence peddling, corruption in business, embezzlement of public funds and misappropriation, after closing the investigation of the case.
The magistrate has ruled out the crime of professional intrusion due to insufficient evidence, but considers there to be sufficient evidence to continue the proceedings for the other four crimes.
