Now 82, Julio Iglesias has so far not responded to the allegations against him

Two women have accused the Spanish singer Julio Iglesias of sexually assaulting them while they were working for him and allege that he "normalised abuse" in a coercive, threatening and violent environment.

The allegations, made in reports by Spanish news site elDiario.es and US outlet Univision, are being investigated by Spain's judiciary.

The singer employed the two women at his properties in Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, and Lyford Cay, in the Bahamas. According to their testimonies, the sexual assaults took place in 2021.

Iglesias, who is 82, has been a household name in Spain since the 1960s and has sold millions of records worldwide.
