Julio Iglesias Faces Prosecutor’s Probe Over Assault Allegations as Singer Prepares Defense

The complainants hold protected-witness status in a sealed pre-procedural inquiry at Spain’s Audiencia Nacional.

Overview

  • The formal complaint, filed on January 5, prompted preliminary diligences under secrecy as prosecutors verify jurisdiction over alleged 2021 incidents in residences in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
  • Women’s Link Worldwide said prosecutors will take the women’s statements as protected witnesses and noted that additional former employees have contacted the organization.
  • The reported investigation by elDiario.es and Univision cites testimonies and materials such as work records, photos, audios, messages and call logs that describe non‑consensual acts, humiliation and exhausting workdays.
  • Political fallout has widened: government figures called for a thorough probe and are weighing the removal of a national arts honor, while Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Madrid’s mayor rejected revoking regional or city distinctions.
  • Iglesias gave a brief comment to ¡HOLA! saying he is preparing a legal defense and expects the truth to be clarified, with no charges filed at this stage.
