The Spanish courts have given heavy sentences to former government officials and have placed restrictions on the Prime Minister's wife during a wider investigation into corruption.

西班牙法院對前政府官員處以重刑，並在一次更大規模的貪腐調查中，對總理妻子採取了限制措施。

The Supreme Court has sentenced former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos to 24 years and three months in prison. The court found that Ábalos, along with his assistant Koldo García and businessman Víctor de Aldama, created a criminal group to make illegal money from medical equipment contracts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence showed that Ábalos received monthly payments of €10,000 and other benefits, such as houses, in exchange for helping to secure contracts for 13 million masks. The judges emphasized that this behavior harms the state's democratic values by using public power for private gain.

最高法院已判處前交通部長 José Luis Ábalos 24 年三個月徒刑。法院發現 Ábalos 與其助手 Koldo García 及商人 Víctor de Aldama 組建了一個犯罪集團，在 COVID-19 疫情期間透過醫療設備合約非法獲利。證據顯示，Ábalos 每月收取 10,000 歐元及其他利益（如房產），以換取其協助取得 1,300 萬個口罩的合約。法官強調，利用公權力謀取私利的行為損害了國家的民主價值。

At the same time, Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has imposed restrictions on Begoña Gómez, the spouse of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. These measures include a ban on traveling and the surrender of her passport because of accusations of influence peddling and the misuse of public funds. The investigation is looking into whether Gómez used her position to get professional advantages. Consequently, this has caused a second conflict, as the General Council for Judicial Power has started a review of Judge Peinado's conduct after he claimed that Gómez's security team might help her escape justice, which the police described as unfair.

與此同時，法官 Juan Carlos Peinado 對總理 Pedro Sánchez 的妻子 Begoña Gómez 採取了限制措施。由於被指控權錢交易及濫用公款，這些措施包括禁止出國及上繳護照。調查正在核實 Gómez 是否利用其地位獲取專業上的利益。因此，這引發了第二場衝突，司法權力總會已開始審查法官 Peinado 的行為，因為他聲稱 Gómez 的安保團隊可能會協助她逃避司法制裁，而警方對此描述為不公正。

These legal events are happening during a time of political instability. Investigations have also reached other officials, including David Sánchez and Santos Cerdán. While the government describes these cases as 'lawfare'—meaning judicial harassment for political reasons—opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo asserts that these patterns show systemic corruption. Furthermore, the government maintains that the Prime Minister is not connected to these crimes, even though the convicted people were close to him.

這些法律事件發生在政治不穩定的時期。調查也波及其他官員，包括 David Sánchez 和 Santos Cerdán。雖然政府將這些案件描述為「法律戰」——即出於政治原因的司法騷擾——但反對黨領袖 Alberto Núñez Feijóo 堅稱這些模式顯示出系統性貪腐。此外，政府堅持認為總理與這些罪行沒有關聯，儘管被定罪的人與他關係密切。

Spain is currently experiencing a period of intense legal pressure on its government, marked by long prison sentences for pandemic-era corruption and ongoing court cases involving the Prime Minister's family.

西班牙目前正經歷一個政府法律壓力巨大的時期，其特徵是疫情期間貪腐而導致的長期徒刑，以及涉及總理家人的持續法院案件。
