The accusers, who worked as household employees and a physiotherapist in the artist's mansions in the Caribbean, claim to have been victims of a environment of continuous harassment and strict control. According to their statements, during their working hours, they experienced unwanted touching, insults, and various humiliations. The formal complaint was received by the Public Ministry on January 5, at which point the opening of investigative proceedings was agreed upon, which are strictly confidential to ensure the priority protection of the alleged victims.
A key point in this case is the judicial jurisdiction. Since the alleged acts were committed outside of Spain by a Spanish citizen, the National Court is the only court qualified to investigate the case under the requirements of the Organic Law of the Judiciary. Currently, the investigation is exclusively carried out within the Prosecutor's Office, through pre-trial proceedings, without any involvement of the courts yet.
The outcome of these actions will depend on the strength of the evidence gathered. If the Prosecutor's Office finds sufficient evidence of a crime, it will proceed to file a formal complaint or lawsuit before the judiciary; if the criminality of the acts cannot be proven, the case will be definitively closed.
This initial phase is comparable to a foundation examination: before deciding whether to build a judicial case, the Prosecutor's Office must verify if the grounds of the complaint are solid enough to support a formal accusation.
