Julio Iglesias Sues Spain's Deputy PM Yolanda Díaz, Demands €50,000

Iglesias says Yolanda Díaz’s remarks damaged his honor and privacy, and he is also pursuing a separate criminal complaint against Diario.es journalists.

  • Spanish singer Julio Iglesias sued Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz before the Supreme Court, accusing her of "unlawful interference with his right to honour and privacy" over comments made earlier this year.
  • The legal action follows January allegations from two former employees claiming sexual abuse at Iglesias's residences in Punta Cana and Lyford Cay, investigated by Diario and Univisi over three years.
  • Iglesias seeks €50,000 in compensation, arguing Díaz voiced "clear prejudices" when alleging "sexual abuse was taking place in his home, that staff were kept in conditions akin to slavery and that their fundamental rights were systematically violated."
  • Separately, the singer filed a criminal complaint in a Madrid court against Diario editor Ignacio Escolar and reporters, accusing them of publishing "false and defamatory" statements intended to "undermine" his public image.
  • The National Court prosecutor's office previously shelved proceedings against the artist regarding the alleged assaults, citing a "lack of jurisdiction" to hear the case as incidents occurred at his Caribbean residences.
