The tug-of-war about the paternity of singer Julio Iglesias about Javir Santos, the 44-year-old man who claims to be his son through DNA testing, has turned upside down in court . After a Valencia court determined that the man is the singer's son , now the Tenth Section of the Valencian Provincial Court has reversed the sentence passed last July by which the 13th Court of First Instance of Valencia upheld the demand for paternity presented by Santos, 44 years old.

The court's decision has not been well received by the young man's lawyer, Fernando Osuna, who in statements to EL MUNDO, has already warned that he plans to reach the highest levels to ensure that Justice recognizes Santos as the legitimate son of Iglesias .

In his opinion, the Court's decision, he says, "is nonsense" because, he adds, "it is not possible for the Law to follow a path and science -referring to the genetic test that links the singer with Santos- goes for another " . "There is a clear disagreement," he clarifies.

For this reason, he has assured that he will appeal the decision of the Valencian Court before the Supreme Court and that, in case of not obtaining the answer he seeks, he will continue to climb. " Then we will go to the Constitutional Court and finally, if necessary, to the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights ."

The lawyer understands that the court has ruled on a formal matter - the fact that the young man's mother had already filed a lawsuit for these same events in his time - but remembers that, after that, it was Javier Santos himself who initiated another process. "The matter is another and, therefore, it is not a res judicata."

" It is an absurd and totally incongruous sentence. It is as if now a court said that the Manzanares river does not pass through Madrid because in the past it was said that not, although geographically it is so. It is nonsense."

The court does not share the thesis of the Court of First Instance 13 of Valencia when rejecting the res judicata exception . Thus, remember that Javier Santos appeared in his own name, in an appeal phase, in the process derived from his mother's demand, so there is a subjective identity between that matter and the one resolved now.

On the other hand, he understands that the orders issued in the framework of the second procedure by the Marbella court and the Malaga Court (one of the two cases initiated by his mother) became firm and have full effect when it comes to appreciating the exception of Juged thing.

María Edite Santos was a Portuguese dancer who, as she has always said, had a romantic relationship with the singer in the 70s and assures that her son Javier Santos was born from that union. In the 90s, a legal battle began for this reason.
