Spanish Supreme Court legal rulings

Overview

The Spanish Supreme Court has issued several rulings dismissing high-profile lawsuits. The court dismissed a defamation suit brought by singer Julio Iglesias against Second Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz, ruling it lacked jurisdiction because Díaz’s comments regarding allegations of abuse were made as a ‘citizen and political leader’ rather than in her official capacity.

In a separate case, the court rejected a criminal complaint from a former Vox employee against Javier Ortega Smith. The employee had alleged crimes against moral integrity and administrative malfeasance following her dismissal after maternity leave. While the court found no evidence of criminal conduct, it characterized Ortega Smith’s remarks during the encounter as ‘unfortunate,’ ‘improper,’ and ‘somewhat sexist.’

Additionally, former tennis player Feliciano López has initiated legal action against his ex-wife, Alba Carrillo, alleging violations of his right to honor and privacy.
