Judicial officials in Spain are being criticized by the Prime Minister for alleged political involvement in corruption cases.

Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, is facing mounting pressure over corruption cases affecting his inner circle. Sanchez's wife, Begona Gomez, and his younger brother, David Sanchez, are currently under investigation.

Begona Gomez is under investigation for alleged corruption and influence peddling related to her past academic job at Madrid's Complutense University since April last year. The investigating judge handling the case is Carmen Lamela.

David Sanchez, on the other hand, is under investigation for alleged embezzlement, influence peddling, and tax fraud. However, it's important to note that these investigations into Sanchez's wife and brother are not related to the corruption cases affecting his inner circle mentioned earlier.

The investigation involving Sanchez's relatives and associates is separate from the cases he has previously addressed. For instance, the probe into his former right-hand man, Santos Cerdan, was detained in June in a separate investigation into kickbacks for public contracts. The investigation into Cerdan, Jose Luis Abalos, and Koldo Garcia is also not related to the cases of kickbacks for public contracts mentioned earlier.

Sanchez has attributed the cases against his relatives to complaints from far-right groups. He claimed that these false accusations have been presented in courts to open cases against his relatives. He also stated that there are judges who engage in politics, accusing some judges of "doing politics."

Despite these allegations, Sanchez maintains that the cases against his relatives are baseless. He has been the leader of the Socialist party and has been in power since 2018. The ongoing investigation into his associates may yield further developments.

The prime minister's stance has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that he is attempting to politicize the judiciary. However, Sanchez has emphasized that the allegations are causing significant harm to justice and the judiciary, and that they are a minority.

In conclusion, while Pedro Sanchez faces corruption allegations involving his inner circle, it's important to note that the investigations into his wife and brother are separate from the cases he has previously addressed. The ongoing investigation into his associates is a matter of public interest and will likely continue to be a topic of discussion in the coming weeks.
