Following a judge's findings on kickbacks related to public contracts, Santos Cerdan Leon, a senior PSOE official, resigned. The scrutiny on Sanchez deepens as probes involve multiple family members and former officials. Amid recordings of compromising discussions, Cerdan, though asserting his innocence, opted to resign from his parliamentary duties to focus on his defense. The severity of these allegations poses significant challenges to Sanchez’s leadership amid his efforts to distance his party from previous corruption scandals.
