Julio Iglesias sex assault complaint dropped by Spain prosecutors


Spanish prosecutors have dropped an investigation into complaints of sexual abuse against the singer Julio Iglesias.

They ruled that Spanish courts had no jurisdiction and were therefore not competent to investigate crimes committed abroad involving complainants who were not Spanish citizens or residents and who had never travelled to Spain with the star.

Two female former employees had alleged that the 82-year-old Spanish superstar “normalised abuse” in a coercive, threatening and violent environment while they were working at his properties in the Bahamas and Dominican Republic in 2021.

Iglesias has vigorously denied the allegations, which were first reported last week.
