Disciplinary hearing for judge probing prime minister's wife

Spanish authorities have reported that the judge investigating a corruption case involving Begonia Gomez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, will face disciplinary action for implying that her police guards might help her escape. The investigation focuses on Gomez's business dealings based on a lawsuit filed by far-right groups, and Sánchez is encountering legal challenges due to corruption allegations against his close associates. The judge has issued a ruling to prosecute Gomez on eight charges, including abuse of power and misappropriation of public funds, and has decided to prohibit her from traveling and confiscate her passport amid suspicions that she may flee. These decisions have angered police authorities and political figures, who considered the judge's comments unwarranted. Disciplinary procedures are currently being taken against the judge for disrespecting law enforcement, while Gomez has lodged an appeal against the trial decision. On Wednesday, the Prime Minister will appear before the Parliament to clarify his position regarding the corruption scandals involving his wife.
