The whole world was surprised when Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, the nephew of the artist Ricky Martin, accused him of incest and sexual violence. But apparently, it was the nephew who requested that the case be closed.

"As we anticipated, the temporary protection did not continue. The accusing party has confirmed that the decision to close the case is his alone, there is no external influence or pressure and the accuser confirms that he is satisfied with the legal representatives of the case. The request to close the case came from the accuser", Martin's team said in the statement, adding that the artist's grandson is an individual with serious mental health problems who has made false accusations. "We are very happy that our client saw justice and can now move forward with his life and career."

The accusation of the grandson of the hit singer "La Vida Loca" seriously endangered the career of the artist, and if it turned out to be true, it would cost him a full 50 years in prison. According to Sanchez's claims, the 50-year-old artist and he had had sexual relations for 7 months and broke up 2 months ago. Sanchez claims his uncle persistently called him and went to his house.

To this, Martin reacted and called the accusations "totally false" and his lawyer categorically denied a romantic or sexual relationship between Martin and his nephew.

The singer will also appear in another trial with his former manager, who has sued him for several unpaid commissions and is seeking damages in the amount of 3 million dollars. The lawsuit states that Martin provides "a toxic work environment", also the former manager accuses the singer of threatening to shut up and remain silent about this issue.
