Sexual abuse allegations
Sexual abuse allegations
In January and February 2024, El País published allegations by six women accusing Vermut of sexual abuse from 2012 to 2024. In September 2024, Vermut issued a statement through his legal representative denying ever engaging in non-consensual sexual practice, emphasising that no official investigation had been conducted against him to date, and stating that he was not made aware of the details of the allegations when El País contacted him, and that it misrepresented his response as though he was. The statement indicated that Vermut and his lawyer were deliberating legal action against El País. In December 2025, Vermut announced that he had filed with the judiciary a complaint against El País and the journalists who wrote the 2024 articles.
