Former members of a sect-like Argentine group say women in the group were called “geishas” and “slaves.”
Domingo found himself embroiled in the scandal after law enforcement officers carried out dozens of raids in Buenos Aires in August targeting the school. The famed tenor was “a consumer of prostitution” but isn't accused of a crime because prostitution is legal in Argentina, said a law enforcement source in Argentina who, like other police and judicial sources in Buenos Aires, spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Domingo has publicly tried to distance himself from the group, which allegedly had multiple offices in the United States. In 2019, numerous women told the AP they were sexually harassed by Domingo, who is considered one of the greatest opera singers of all time. More than 20 women came forward to accuse Domingo of inappropriate and sexually charged conduct that included groping and other unwanted touching, persistent late night phone calls, stalking them in dressing rooms and pressuring them into sexual relationships by offering advancement in the opera world.
Carlos told the AP that he saw Domingo visit the school several times in the 1990s, including once as the guest of honor at a dinner party inside the school. Carlos said he was a waiter at the party, held in Domingo’s honor, where the singer made a generous offer at the end of the evening to fly several of the group’s leaders with him to Europe on an upcoming trip.
González, who died in 2018, served as concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1986 until 1996 and is accused of playing a key role in the group’s U.S. operations. Iacono was a New York-based soprano, who used the stage name “Loiacono,” and is the subject of an international arrest warrant. Another alleged leader named Mariano Krawczyk, was an oboist who goes by the artistic name Mariano Krauz.
Sexual encounters were touted to members as a form of “healing” and offered a path to scaling the seven levels of the school’s strict hierarchy that had Percowicz at the top, according to charging documents.
