Madrid, Apr 25 (EFE).- Prosecutors in Madrid on Thursday called for an alleged corruption inquiry into Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez, to be dropped.

The complaint was filed with a Madrid court on Wednesday by Manos Limpia (‘Clean Hands’), a self-styled “union” that was founded by a lawyer and former politician with ties to the Spanish far-right, something it denies.

But on Thursday, Manos Limpias admitted that the complaint was based on right-wing and far-right leaning news reports, the publishers of which would be responsible for the stories’ accuracy. CAMERA: TATO PÉREZ AND ENRIQUE DEL VISO.
