Sanchez's Scandals: Wife, Journalist, and Kickbacks

0:00On April 30th, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez faces fresh heat from corruption probes, circling his inner circle. His wife, Bagona Gomez, is under investigation for allegedly using her influence to land business contracts. She denies any foul play and just this month, a prosecutor pushed to drop the case, which far-right groups kicked off. Meanwhile, a journalist named Quiles tried getting close to Gomez at an event, sparking a scuffle that went viral. He posted video of it online, but didn't comment right away. Both the socialist government and the main opposition, people's parties slammed his pushy tactics. Still, a people's party spokesperson called Quiles a victim too, saying journalists got to chase questions sometimes. This all ties into bigger troubles for Sanchez, one of Europe's last leftist leaders holding on. Witnesses are testifying now against his old transport minister in court. A key witness there claimed Sanchez knew about kickbacks funneled to his socialist party.
