On Saturday, a Spanish judge ordered Begoña Gomez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, to stand trial for corruption. She is accused of using her position as the PM's wife for personal gain by securing work contracts. Gomez is now banned from leaving the country and must report to court twice a month until a verdict has been reached. This trial is the latest in a series of corruption inquiries surrounding, but not directly naming, Sanchez. The growing scandals risk toppling his minority ruling coalition. Story by Caroline Baum.
