Spanish judge sends PM's wife Begoña Gómez to jury trial for influence peddling and embezzlement

Judge Juan Carlos Peinado signed an order on Monday sending Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spain's prime minister, to trial by jury on influence-peddling and embezzlement charges, his second such order after Madrid's provincial court struck down the first. The case now also names Cristina Álvarez, Gómez's Moncloa adviser, on embezzlement; it covers a Complutense University chair Gómez launched and university software later used privately, with the UCM claiming 113,000 euros. Peinado, who turns 72 and retires Sunday, rejected defence objections; no trial date is set, and businessman Juan Carlos Barrabés stays under European prosecutors.
