He came UK as dependant of his mother who is married to Spanish. So he has EEA permit

Wife will not qualify under the EEA rules, as she is neither the spouse of a Settled person, now a British Citizen.

A bit unfair, and a violation of the ECHR, but unfortunately, that is the rules, until you friend secure PR, or his wife can show she is dependant on the EEA national.
