Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has denied corruption allegations against his wife but says he will consider resigning after a judicial investigation was launched into accusations by a right-wing legal platform that she used her position to influence business deals.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Snchez says that he will consider resigning after what he calls spurious corruption allegations against his wife led to a judicial investigation being opened on April 24, 2024.
Earlier on Wednesday, a Spanish judge agreed to probe allegations of corruption made by a private group with a history of filing lawsuits mainly for right-wing causes. The court based in Madrid will consider the allegations and proceed with the investigation or toss it out. The possibility of a governmental crisis comes just weeks before important regional elections in Catalonia followed by European elections in June.
