• Ricky Martin Denies, through his lawyer, an incestuous relationship with his nephew

  • Ricky Martin defends himself against accusations of domestic violence: "They are totally false"

The Court of First Instance of San Juan

filed this Thursday the case against singer Ricky Martin

, whom his nephew Dennis Yadiel Sánchez had sued and obtained a protection order.

The artist's representative in Puerto Rico, Helga García, from the firm Perfect Partners, confirmed the court's decision to Efe.

A press conference is scheduled for his legal team to give more details about the hearing, in which Ricky Martin

appeared virtually

.

Against the singer weighed a protection order based on Law 54, which protects

victims of domestic violence

, which had been granted ex parte on July 2, at the request of his nephew.

The 21-year-old alleged that he had a romantic relationship with Ricky Martin

for seven months and that, after the breakup, his uncle intimidated him and approached his home on several occasions.

Lawyer Marcos Rivera explained to Efe at the gates of the court that the first ex parte order issued against the singer was

"provisional

. "

"They

issued it provisionally

, until Ricky Martin is heard, the order does not become permanent for the time determined by the court," said the lawyer, candidate for the presidency of the Puerto Rico Bar Association.

The interpreter of great musical successes such as "La copa de la vida", "La mordidita" and "Livin' la Vida Loca"

denied the facts denounced by his nephew

, as did his legal team.

Ricky Martin assured at the time on social networks that

these allegations were "totally false"

and that he would face the judicial process "with the responsibility" that characterizes him.

The media case attracted numerous local and foreign journalists, including Efe, who stood guard before the court today despite the

inclement rain

.

It is worth mentioning that Dennis Yadiel Sánchez also denounced last Tuesday

having received calls with death threats if he spoke at the hearing

, facts that are under police investigation.

Enrique Martín Morales, better known as Ricky Martin, has been married since 2017 to the artist of Syrian origin Jwan Yosef and has four children.
