Julio Iglesias Mounts Legal Push After Case Archived, Cites 'Recordings' and Requests Prosecutor's File

Spain's national prosecutor closed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction, directing any criminal pursuit to Caribbean courts.

Overview

  • The Audiencia Nacional’s prosecutor issued a decree archiving the complaint, finding no Spanish jurisdiction over alleged 2021 incidents in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.
  • Iglesias has filed a new brief seeking full access to the case materials to assess potential action for alleged false reporting in Spain.
  • His camp says it has messages, audio recordings and witnesses indicating money was offered to staff to make accusations, a claim reported by OKDiario and not independently verified in these accounts.
  • The singer posted WhatsApp screenshots on Instagram asserting the allegations are false and arguing he was denied a fair chance to review proceedings.
  • Two former employees represented by Women’s Link Worldwide filed the original complaint on January 5, and public figures including Alejandro Sanz and Vaitiare Bandera have voiced support for Iglesias and urged caution.
