Overview
- The report details claims of non-consensual digital anal and vaginal penetrations, forced kissing and groping, slaps, and insults, with some episodes occurring in the presence or participation of a senior house manager.
- Accounts describe isolation, 10–16 hour shifts, restricted outings, phone checks, and a rigid hierarchy that allegedly coordinated sexual requests under threat of dismissal.
- Journalists say they interviewed about 15 former staff and verified the accounts with WhatsApp messages, call logs, visas, medical reports, photographs, and other records.
- Julio Iglesias and his lawyer did not respond to repeated requests for comment, while a former house chief labeled the accusations as "lies."
- Más Madrid requested the withdrawal of Madrid honors for Iglesias as Isabel Díaz Ayuso rejected removing awards, and Cadena Ser reported prosecutors at Spain’s National Court are reviewing the matter, which authorities have not publicly confirmed.
