Overview
- Two former in‑house employees—a domestic worker and a physiotherapist—allege sexual assaults and coercion in 2021 at the singer’s residences in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
- The claims were published after a three‑year investigation by elDiario.es and Univision that included repeated interviews, corroborating testimonies and documentary material such as messages, call logs and medical records.
- A formal complaint was filed on January 5, and the Fiscalía de la Audiencia Nacional has opened pre‑trial investigatory proceedings under secrecy while it evaluates the evidence and jurisdiction.
- The reports describe restrictive working conditions including isolation, long shifts, limited movement and imposed medical checks such as gynecological exams and STI tests, with one villa described as a “casita del terror.”
- Political fallout grew as Más Madrid sought to revoke civic honors, while regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Madrid’s mayor José Luis Martínez‑Almeida defended keeping them; Iglesias and his legal team have not commented publicly.
