Nine Legal Challenges Close In on Spain's PM Sánchez

Spanish authorities widened probes into PSOE figures, including a raid on the party HQ tied to the Leire Díez case and alleged payments to discredit judges; charges have been filed against Sánchez’s inner circle (wife Begoña Gómez, adviser Cristina Álvarez) and investigations extend to his brother David Sánchez, ex-PM Zapatero in the Plus Ultra case, the Koldo mask-purchasing case, and the Hydrocarbons VAT inquiry, with prosecutors warning the process could last years as the opposition eyes a no-confidence motion and Sánchez seeks a congressional briefing.
