Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is mentioned as one location where Julio Iglesias owns Caribbean mansions, the sites of alleged sexual assaults. Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, 82, is facing accusations of sexual assault from two former female employees who worked at his properties in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. The women allege a pattern of abuse, including inappropriate touching, insults, and humiliation, creating a coercive and threatening environment. Iglesias denies these allegations. Spanish prosecutors initially investigated the claims but ultimately dropped the case, citing a lack of jurisdiction as the alleged offenses occurred outside of Spain and the complainants were not Spanish citizens or residents. The accusations and subsequent dismissal have brought renewed attention to Iglesias's past and raised questions about accountability for alleged crimes committed abroad.
