The Madrid Provincial Court ruled that the trial of Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, will continue. After a few days of deliberation, the court confirmed Judge Juan Carlos Peinado's decision for the case to be heard in a jury trial.
However, the court made a significant reduction in the number of charges Gómez will face. Only two of the four charges brought by the prosecution were accepted, and Gómez will be tried for influence peddling and embezzlement of public funds.
Additionally, by an interim ruling issued while the process is ongoing, Begoña Gómez's passport was returned to her. This development somewhat narrows the scope of the high-profile case opened against the Sánchez government and the first lady.
