Spanish judge demands Begoña Gómez prove passport use for UK trip

A Spanish judge is demanding that Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, provide evidence that she used her passport exclusively for a permitted trip to the United Kingdom. Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who previously allowed Gómez to travel for her daughter's graduation, issued a resolution on Monday requiring her to "accredit" that the passport was used solely for that specific purpose.

Peinado stated that there is no record of any passport activity for entry or exit on the authorized dates. He has given Gómez an "unextendable period of five days" to prove her compliance. The judge is also threatening to charge her with a crime of "breach of a precautionary measure" if she fails to provide the necessary proof.

The judge's order places Gómez back under scrutiny, just weeks after he opened a trial against her on June 20 and prohibited her from leaving Spain. The case continues to draw significant attention due to Gómez's position as the prime minister's wife.
