# Judge dismisses Quiles lawsuit against Gómez 19 October 2026 at 16:50 > A Madrid judge has thrown out Vito Quiles' legal action against Begoña Gómez for failing to meet essential procedural requirements. Judge **Gerardo Calvo** of Majadahonda, Madrid, has dismissed a lawsuit filed by **Vito Quiles** against **Begoña Gómez**, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister **Pedro Sánchez**. The legal action, which alleged false reporting, was thrown out for failing to meet a procedural requirement. The decision follows a separate legal battle where the Provincial Court of Madrid ordered the reopening of a case filed by Gómez against Quiles. Investigators are examining whether Quiles committed coercion during an April incident at a Las Rozas restaurant. The **High Court of Justice of Madrid** ruled the initial closure of the coercion case was premature. While recordings did not prove Quiles physically restrained Gómez, both parties had been summoned to appear in court on Friday, 23 October 2026, regarding the matter.
