In recent developments as of June 2025, Spanish authorities have intensified investigations into allegations of corruption involving the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE), led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. On June 16, 2025, police conducted a high-profile raid on the PSOE headquarters in search of evidence linked to a major scandal. Reports indicate that the Guardia Civil uncovered audio recordings suggesting that PSOE officials, including a key figure close to Sánchez, were involved in distributing €620,000 in illegal commissions. The investigation has expanded to include accusations of misappropriated funds being spent on personal enrichment, with specific mentions of expenditures on luxury items and entertainment. Public sentiment, reflected in posts found on X, shows growing attention to the case, with some users noting the involvement of high-ranking party members. Additionally, on June 20, 2025, 16 PSOE officials faced formal charges related to the scandal, marking a significant legal escalation. The probe has also revealed connections to public works contracts, with claims that bribes influenced project allocations. Despite Sánchez’s defense of the party as a ”clean organization,” the unfolding investigation has prompted 40 lawmakers to call for transparency measures. The case remains ongoing, with authorities analyzing over 200 documents and interviewing 15 witnesses as of June 30, 2025.
