Spanish court deemed competent to probe sexual assault complaint against Julio Iglesias

Spain's Prosecutor's Office ruled that the National Court can investigate a 2021 sexual harassment and assault complaint filed by two former employees against singer Julio Iglesias, with alleged incidents in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. The decision establishes Spanish jurisdiction over the case, though the complaint's merits remain unexamined. This marks a notable legal development for a high-profile figure, but its market impact is negligible.
