The National Police have arrested six German tourists in Mallorca for an alleged group rape of a compatriot while they were on vacation on the island.

Investigators have evidence that the young woman was in a nightclub in this area with a group of friends, when she met one of her compatriots.

When the Police arrived at the hotel, the young woman was in a very severe state of agitation, for which reason she had to be treated by the medical services. After the arrest, the young men argue in their defense that the sexual relations were consented to with all of them and that the girl also agreed that everything should be recorded, a theory that the investigators do not share once they have seen part of what was recorded. recorded on mobile phones.
