Spanish judge summons PM's wife for jury trial on embezzlement, influence peddling

Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has summoned Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez, to a preliminary hearing in a jury trial over alleged embezzlement and influence peddling. This escalates an ongoing legal case against a close family member of the sitting head of government, adding political pressure on Sánchez. The outcome and timing remain uncertain as the case proceeds.
