Julio Iglesias Publishes WhatsApp Messages as Prosecutors Keep Case in Pre-Investigation

Spain’s National Prosecutor is assessing jurisdiction in a confidential preliminary review that has not yet allowed the singer’s legal team to access the complaint.

Overview

  • Iglesias posted Instagram screenshots of WhatsApp exchanges with the two former employees and asserted the messages disprove their accusations.
  • The Fiscalía de la Audiencia Nacional is running reserved pre-investigative diligencias to determine competence and whether to proceed to formal charges.
  • Prosecutors have declined to admit the defense at this phase, and Iglesias’s lawyer renewed requests for the complaint while reserving a constitutional appeal.
  • The January 5 complaint, supported by Women’s Link Worldwide, alleges sexual assaults, coercion, and labor exploitation in 2021 at properties in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
  • Iglesias’s counsel seeks immediate dismissal for lack of Spanish jurisdiction, as media coverage intensifies a public dispute over evidence, including a report about an OnlyFans account linked to one complainant.
