MADRID (Reuters) -A Spanish judge postponed a hearing on Friday in a corruption investigation of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's wife after her defence team said she had not been properly notified of another complaint brought against her.

The high-profile probe into whether Begona Gomez used her position as the prime minister's wife to influence her business dealings led Sanchez in April to consider resigning amid an outcry from the opposition.
