Nacho Cano Under Investigation: Magistrate Moves Forward With Workers' Rights Case
A magistrate in Madrid has decided to advance with the investigation into music producer Nacho Cano regarding allegations of crimes against workers and foreign nationals. The head of the 19th Court of Instruction has officially rejected the proposal to archive the case, emphasizing the need for further proceedings requested by the Prosecutor's Office to ascertain whether the actions in question potentially constitute a crime.
As part of this inquiry, the magistrate has scheduled testimony from Cano, who is being treated as an accused party. Previously, his testimony was postponed to avoid potential penalties, but in a turn of events, it is now the accused himself who is requesting to come forward. The date for Cano's testimony has yet to be established, but the magistrate plans to summon him along with three other members of the musical group Malinche, who are also currently under investigation.
Additionally, the magistrate has ordered the summoning of various police officers, as well as a consultant and administrator from Jana Producciones, the production school associated with Cano. Among the affected witnesses summoned are three interns who once worked with Nacho Cano and are currently residing in Mexico. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing examination of Cano's practices related to labor and rights within his production framework.
The case has garnered attention and raises significant questions regarding labor rights, particularly in creative industries. As investigations unfold, the testimonies from both Cano and the interns could provide critical insights into the working conditions and treatment of individuals involved in the projects overseen by the music producer. The judiciary's willingness to probe further into this matter highlights a growing commitment to uphold labor laws and protect the rights of workers, especially in the entertainment sector.
