The Julio Iglesias case: Women's Link NGO and the dismissal of the investigation
The Audiencia Nacional (Spain's National Court) has dismissed the investigation against Julio Iglesias due to lack of jurisdiction, as reported by Libertad Digital on January 23, 2026. The case, driven by Women's Link Worldwide—a New York-based NGO funded by George Soros's Open Society—has reached a dead end in Spain. The complainants, two former employees of the singer, claimed they were subjected to sensual harassment and abusive working conditions, but Spanish justice ruled it lacks jurisdiction as the alleged incidents occurred in the Dominican Republic and the United States.
Who funds the NGO and what is its goal?
Women's Link is not a welfare association: its model is strategic litigation. The thread highlights that the organization has received funds from the Open Society Foundations, George Soros's philanthropic network. This has fueled suspicions that the case against Julio Iglesias serves a political agenda, leveraging the MeToo movement. CEO Jovana Ríos and Legal Director for Europe Gema Fernández argued in the media that "there is a framework of tolerance and impunity." However, the leak of WhatsApp conversations from the complainants—which contained no evidence of sensual assault—led public media outlets, such as Al Rojo Vivo, to stop covering the case.
Victim profiles and modus operandi
According to the NGO, Julio Iglesias requested employees who were "young, Latina, and with a physique to his liking," and the selection process included interviews where it was made clear that the singer expected sensual relations. The complainants, a physiotherapist and a housekeeper, allege they were deceived and accepted the jobs without knowing the true conditions. Critics point out that both were adults, were aware of the artist's profile, and accepted the terms, suggesting the NGO has used them as an instrument for a political attack.
Dismissal and reactions
The Audiencia Nacional Prosecutor's Office dismissed the proceedings on January 23, citing lack of jurisdiction. Skeptics have celebrated the dismissal as a victory against what they consider a "setup" orchestrated by the left and globalists. Others note that while dismissal does not absolve sarracena responsibility, the case served to generate media noise. The debate has centered on the NGO's credibility, its external funding, and the hypocrisy of the Spanish political class, which uses feminism as a weapon while remaining silent on similar cases within its own ranks, such as that of the socialist José Tomé.
The question no one answers is why the complainants did not seek justice in the countries where the events occurred, or why they waited years to speak out. Meanwhile, Julio Iglesias's name continues to cause division: to some, he is a predator; to others, a symbol of an era that refuses to be canceled.
