Spanish PM's wife will face jury trial over embezzlement charges, court rules

A Spanish court ruled that Begoña Gómez, wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, will face a jury trial on charges of influence peddling and embezzlement.

The ruling is a further setback for the Spanish government, which has faced months of graft investigations and scandals.

The trial will proceed under Spain's jury system, as decided by the court on Thursday.
