Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against a judge who summoned him to testify in a probe into alleged influence-peddling by his wife, accusing him of violating the law.

The lawsuit filed by Spain’s state legal services argues the judge may have committed “criminal acts” in his summons by not allowing Sanchez to testify in writing as requested by the Socialist leader, according to the complaint.
