Begoña Gómez requests her acquittal and denies having taken advantage of her marital relationship

Begoña Gómez, the wife of the Spanish Prime Minister, submitted her formal defense document on Friday in anticipation of an upcoming trial. In the filing, she requests a full acquittal and explicitly denies allegations that she leveraged her marital status to secure professional advantages or committed any criminal acts.

The submission marks a procedural step in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding her professional activities. Gómez maintains that her actions were not influenced by her relationship with the head of the government, countering claims that her position provided improper leverage.
