Pedro Sanchez spoke out in defense of Begoña Gomez after the judge’s order Juan Carlos Peinado investigate the bank accounts of which the wife of the President of the Government appears to be the owner. “In my wife’s account statement, we will see that she is a neat and honest woman and that she has an account statement that reflects that of any active professional,” Sánchez said during his appearance after the summit of G20 detained in Rio de Janeiro. Currently, the wife of the President of the Government is accused of alleged crimes of influence peddling, corruption in the private sector, embezzlement and professional intrusion.
This morning, the investigating judge ordered investigate bank accounts where Begoña Gómez appears as owner and has requested from the Civil Registry of Madrid a literal marriage certificateincluding its marginal annotations, as recorded in a new order of the magistrate. “Proceed, through the Judicial Neutral Point, to consult numbering of current accounts in which María Begoña Gómez Fernández, investigated, appears as the owner. Contact the Single Civil Registry of Madrid to have it issued. literal marriage certificate, with its marginal notes, of the one under investigation”, explains the lawyer of the Administration of Justice by order of Peinado.
Asked about this action by the judge HairstyleSánchez once again demonstrated “absolute calm”. “Absolute transparency,” he said, affirming that, in these stories, the reality of any worker will be seen “like that of millions of Spaniards in our country.” “And if the judge wants to prove in writing that we are married, there is no problem either,” he concluded after the leaders’ summit held in Brazil.
Begoña at the G20
Pedro Sanchez sat down Begoña Gomez at the G20 plenary, which brings together the richest countries in the world Brazil. The image is unpublished. The wife of the President of the Government had never occupied this place before, but this time she allowed the accused to justify her sit-in to the judge, who had summoned her on that date to inform him that she will also be investigated for alleged misappropriation. This Monday, November 18 Begoña Gomez He had to file his complaint for work intrusion after allegedly appropriating his master’s software at the Complutense University, near the courts of the Plaza de Castilla. However, Pedro Sánchez’s wife claimed that she had been invited by the Embassy of Brazilsending the summons to the investigating judge.
The judge accepted the request, recognizing that her presence at the summit has social importance due to her role as wife of the President of the Government, while emphasizing that the the invitation was not obligatory and could have been refused. However, the presence of Begoña Gómez in Rio de Janeiro was marked by obscurantism. La Moncloa has not made its agenda known in Brazil, arguing that the activities are marked by the Brazilian presidency, which is the one that issues an official invitation to the companions of the heads of state.
In this way, Moncloa left the Executive of Lula da Silva the details of this agenda, from which, for the moment, no activity has emerged. This lack of information gives more importance, if possible, to the image of Begoña Gomez seated behind Pedro Sánchez during the first plenary session of the G20since he gives arguments in his defense to justify his absence at the Courts of the Plaza de Castilla.
This is the first time I see Begoña Gomez participation in a G20 plenary session. We have to go back two years, to 2022, to remember the last edition that Pedro Sánchez attended with his wife, since the president of the Spanish executive did not attend that of 2023 due to having tested positive for Covid. During this meeting, which took place in Indonesia, Sánchez attended the plenary session accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares. On this occasion, the woman Pedro Sanchez participated, with other companions of heads of state, in a parallel agenda, in which they were able to see Begoña Gomez learn about the manufacturing sector in Bali, as well as at various outdoor events.
