Who would have imagined that Julio Iglesias would be detained at the airport. The Spanish and international press repeated the situation, indicating that the 80-year-old artist would have an embarrassing moment every time the authorities found 42 kilograms of food in his luggage.

However, new information indicates that Julio Iglesias was not present when his suitcases containing, among other things, various types of fruit, wine and ham were confiscated.

It was the Informalia media that was in charge of shedding light on the news about Enrique Iglesias’ father, which made it a trend on social networks as well as on the front pages.

“It is true that Julio Iglesias was not at the airport at the time, and even less that he was detained by customs officials,” the mentioned medium writes in one of its publications.

The food that was held at the Punta Cana airport arrived in luggage sent by the artist on his private jet and is actually part of the strict diet he follows to stay healthy.

However, the regulations for the export and import of food have been modified due to the presence of an insect called the “Mediterranean fly”, so the shipment sent by Julio Iglesias was subjected to inspection even though he is one of the partners of the airport, as mentioned in Informally.

“He is a partner of the airport and was not detained. Agricultural technicians from the Plant Quarantine who made the seizure were called in to carry out the relevant tests before the transfer was approved. It wasn’t customs,” the source explained to the mentioned media.

“Don Julio always brings his food when he travels. When they know it is coming, they wait for it because they know it will bear fruit. They have always allowed it to enter vegetables and fruits, but due to the problem with the Mediterranean fly, which is an enemy of orchards, we have to be more careful,” added the informant.
