Julio Iglesias Denies Sexual Assault Allegations as Spanish Prosecutors Probe Case

Prosecutors have admitted the complaint and plan to take protected statements as they review evidence the women say corroborates alleged assaults and workplace abuse.

Overview

  • Two former employees accuse the singer of sexual assaults, physical violence and humiliating labor conditions at his residences in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas in 2021.
  • Iglesias issued a written statement on Instagram rejecting the claims as “absolutely false,” saying he has never abused, coerced or disrespected any woman.
  • The Fiscalía de la Audiencia Nacional has opened pre-procedural diligences, granted the accusers protected-witness status and is examining materials provided to investigators.
  • Iglesias has retained the law firm linked to former magistrate José Antonio Choclán to lead his defense, and his wife Miranda Rijnsburger publicly voiced support.
  • The complaint follows a multi-year elDiario.es and Univision investigation; the case remains in an early, reserved phase in Spain with no formal charges announced.
