Julio Iglesias Faces New Abuse Complaint
- On Thursday, former workers Rebeca and Laura filed a complaint at Spain's court accusing Iglesias of "sexual harassment and assault" and "forced and degrading work conditions" from 2021.
- Prosecutors previously shelved a complaint in January, arguing Caribbean nations were "fully competent" to investigate alleged events in the Dominican Republic and Bahamas.
- Link Worldwide argues Spanish courts have jurisdiction under a law that "makes it possible to investigate and prosecute offences committed outside the country when relevant links with Spain exist."
- Iglesias, a Grammy winner with more than 300 million records sold, rejected the accusations as "absolutely false," stating he never "abused, coerced, or disrespected any woman."
- "Spanish state is obliged to guarantee equal access to justice, irrespective of who the accused person is," said Link executive director Jovana Rios Cisnero, emphasizing accountability principles.
