Julio Iglesias chose invisibility a long time ago and has not been seen in public places. A decision that was made during the pandemic and that there was no turning back once the world breathed again. He isolated himself in Punta Cana and, as the much-missed Alfredo Fraile explained before the coronavirus arrived in his memoir, “Julio is a textbook hypochondriac». The death of his former right-hand man locked him even more in his paradises of the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
Last year, one of his friends said that he had spent a few days in Spain, on his farm in Ojén. There was no confirmation or graphic testimony of any kind. The service is very well paid and they have very strict confidentiality contracts. These visits do not have to have a media impact if the protagonist does not want to. With your private plane, the journey is easy to manage: flight to Malaga and, from there, a helicopter service takes clients to the heliport at Ojén’s home. It is the system used by members of the Iglesias-Rinsburger family. One of the rumors that circulated last August was the visit of José María Aznar to this farm. The relationship has always been very good and it would not be strange if that meeting had taken place.
Last summer Miranda and the twins Cristina and Victoria did make public appearances. One of those outings was the tribute that the Rotary Club paid to Nico, Iglesias’ great nephew.who died at the age of twenty in Miami from a rare brain tumor. The latest information about Miranda and part of her offspring indicate that they are back in Spain, settled in Las Cuatro Lunas.
“I’m not going to stop until I prove my innocence. I have time and money”
His last performance was in Chicago, in December 2019. This concert coincided with the presentation of a Grammy award for his artistic career. After that gala he disappeared from the scene. Information was published in Miami, as well as in some media in Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, where it was stated that he did have a musical agenda, but on private circuits for large North American and Russian fortunes. What he did do during the pandemic was update his Instagram with stories related to his songs. In the process, it serves to deny information. Although his active life disappeared when it came to resuming his concerts, his work did not.. He has dedicated himself to remastering his hits and rewriting and updating his memoirs, as he did in 1988 for Grupo Zeta’s magazine “Protagonistas.”
court battle
In January of this year the information tsunami arrived that went around the world. Two former employees who worked in the mansions in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas pointed out and accused him of alleged crimes of sexual assault. From the first moment he denied the accusations through a statement and hired José Antonio Choclán, one of the most powerful lawyers in Spain, to handle his defense. Among the decisions that Iglesias made was to file complaints against all those who have attacked him without evidence. One of them was against the second vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, to make her retract her comments. A few days ago there was a conciliation act to which the policy was not presented. The next step has been the lawsuit for insults and slander against the second vice president and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, before the Supreme Court. The words he transmitted are blunt: «I am not going to stop until I prove my innocence. “I have time and money.”
