US EditionSpanish Star Julio Iglesias Accused of Sexual Assault by Two Ex-Employees
Two former employees accuse Julio Iglesias of sexual assault and workplace abuse at his Caribbean homes in 2021, prompting Spanish High Court prosecutors to open an investigation.
- Spanish prosecutors announced on Jan 13 that they are investigating allegations published by elDiario.es and Univision that Julio Iglesias sexually assaulted two former employees, after a complaint filed on Jan 5 triggered the probe.
- The investigation, compiled over three years, reports that the alleged 2021 incidents occurred at Iglesias's Caribbean residences in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Lyford Cay, Bahamas.
- Accusers told investigators that Rebeca, a 22-year-old domestic worker, and Laura, a 28-year-old physiotherapist, allege repeated sexual assaults with physical abuse and alleged non-consensual penetration, while senior domestic staff and household managers were often present and pressured compliance.
- Journalists report they repeatedly tried to contact Julio Iglesias' representatives and received no reply, and Spanish officials like Ana Redondo and Yolanda Diaz called for an investigation while a former Punta Cana manager denied the allegations.
- So far there are no criminal charges announced and judicial secrecy rules restrict case details, despite Julio Iglesias's status as a top Latin artist with more than 300 million records sold.
