Corruption Scandals Engulf Sánchez as Ex-top Aide Is Jailed

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez came to power 8 years ago, promising to clean up politics. But now his inner circle has been engulfed by corruption scandals.

His former transport minister and right-hand man Jose Luis Abalos has been jailed for 24 years for corruption. Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, is facing corruption charges and has been banned from leaving the country. While his brother David has gone on trial accused of influence peddling.

With growing calls for his resignation, can Sánchez survive this corruption chaos?
