Begoña Gómez claims to be acquitted because she did not act with the intention of enriching herself nor did she appropriate the UCM software.
Begoña Gómez, the wife of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has asked to be acquitted in view of her trial, as she claims that at no time did she act with the intention of enriching herself and that she did not appropriate the software of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).
Begoña Gómez, wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has asked to be acquitted in her upcoming trial, claiming she never acted with the intention of enriching herself. She denies taking ownership of software from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) or using it for personal gain, contrary to accusations led by Hazte Oír.
Gómez faces a jury trial for alleged embezzlement and influence peddling, with Hazte Oír seeking a 13-year prison sentence. In her defense, Gómez states that her role as co-director of a chair at the UCM was temporary and aimed at preventing others from taking control of the domain until the project was completed and registered in the university's name.
