Former aide to Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez faces corruption trial
Share:
A close associate of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is heading to trial on corruption charges related to millions in commissions from pandemic-era contracts. The case represents the first major corruption trial connected to Sanchez's government since he took power in 2018. The proceedings could further destabilize Spain's fragile minority government led by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which has faced mounting political pressures in recent months.
