Julio Iglesias sex assault investigation dropped by Spanish prosecutors

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Spanish prosecutors have dropped an investigation into sexual abuse complaints against singer Julio Iglesias. The investigation stemmed from allegations by two former employees who claimed Iglesias "normalized abuse" in a coercive and violent environment at his properties in the Bahamas and Dominican Republic in 2021. The women filed a legal complaint in Spain alleging sexual assault and human trafficking. Prosecutors dismissed the case because the complainants were not Spanish citizens or residents, preventing the application of universal jurisdiction. They also stated that the Bahamas and Dominican Republic have jurisdiction to investigate the claims. Iglesias has denied the allegations, calling them "absolutely false."
