Overview
- Two former employees filed a January 5 complaint to the Audiencia Nacional alleging sexual abuse, coercion, and forced labor tied to Iglesias’ Caribbean residences in 2021.
- The Public Prosecutor has opened reserved pretrial proceedings, granted the accusers protected‑witness status, and plans to take their testimony; no judicial charges have been filed.
- Iglesias posted a statement on Instagram rejecting the claims as “absolutely false” and has retained high‑profile defense lawyer José Antonio Choclán.
- The case file draws on a multi‑year investigation by elDiario.es and Univision, including photos, recordings, WhatsApp messages, call logs, and labor documents.
- Public figures and relatives have voiced support for the singer, while prosecutors work within a preliminary window—reported as roughly six months—to decide whether to advance the case.
