Two former employees of Spanish singer Julio Iglesias filed a new lawsuit against him on Thursday alleging sexual assault and forced labor. [1] Julio Iglesias denied the accusations, calling them absolutely false and stating he did not abuse, coerce, or disrespect any woman. [2] The women claim these incidents occurred in 2021 at properties in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. [3] Women's Link Worldwide argues that Spanish courts have jurisdiction under a law allowing the investigation of crimes committed abroad by Spanish citizens if the acts are also crimes in the country where they occurred. [4] A Spanish court previously archived an initial complaint filed in January, ruling it incompetent to judge facts that allegedly occurred in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. [5] The two women allege they suffered sexual abuse and mistreatment while working at Iglesias' properties in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic in 2021. [6] Women's Link Worldwide stated that Spanish courts are competent to investigate crimes committed outside Spain if there are relevant links to Spain and the act is also a crime in the country where it occurred. [7] The two women alleged they suffered sexual assault and mistreatment while working at Julio Iglesias' properties in the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic in 2021. [8] Women's Link Worldwide stated that the women filed a complaint on September 3 alleging continuous sexual harassment, sexual assault, and the imposition of forced and degrading working conditions.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world3 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
