Julio Iglesias will sue elDiario.es after the report
The decision of Julio Iglesias confirms that he will not accept the version published by elDiario.es, which he accuses of having constructed a “periodical montage”.

What is known about the case in the Dominican Republic
The file mentioned in the note refers to a complaint filed by two former employees in the artist’s house in the Dominican Republic.

Julio Iglesias will sue elDiario.es and his director
The legal action planned by Julio Iglesias does not only limit to the publishing company. It also targets Ignacio Escolar and other four responsible parties of the newspaper, which suggests that the lawsuit will seek to attribute editorial responsibilities and not only authorship.
“It’s not just about a news story, but how it’s constructed and validated before publishing it”, summarizes the clash between both parties.
In the journalistic field, this type of conflict usually opens two questions: if there was sufficient prior verification and if, after the affected party’s claim, there was a basis to maintain the information without rectification.

Julio Iglesias remains one of the Spanish figures with the greatest international projection, so any controversy over his name generates immediate impact. When an artist of that level enters into dispute with a medium, the case is not only discussed in court: it also becomes a credibility test for both parties.
