Gomez is alleged to have used her husband's position as leverage within her professional circles to influence contracts .The Spanish prime minister’s wife Begona Gomez launched a lawsuit Friday against the judge investigating her for alleged corruption and influence peddling, according to a document seen by AFP.
By filing a lawsuit, Gomez followed in the footsteps of her husband and socialist premier Pedro Sanchez who on Wednesday said he launched a lawsuit claiming abuse of office by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.A lawsuit was filed by Gomez’s defence in Madrid claiming that Peinado had “adopted arbitrary and manifestly unfair judicial decisions” against her as part of an “unusual and erratic” investigation, according to the document seen by AFP.
The “rights” of the office “have been violated, nothing more and nothing less, by the judge,” he added.
