After an alleged gang rape in Mallorca, the authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia have become involved in the investigation of five suspects from Germany. A witness contacted the police.
The authorities in Germany are now dealing with the case of alleged gang rape in Mallorca. “We will initiate an investigation,” said a spokesman for the Hagen public prosecutor’s office of the dpa news agency. But you still need information from the Spanish authorities. The public prosecutor’s office has contacted the Spanish authorities. The “Bild” newspaper had previously reported on it.
Witness claims to have overheard conversations
As senior public prosecutor Gerhard Pauli said, a witness reported to the police in Germany who claimed to have sat next to the five German suspects for several hours in police custody on Mallorca and overheard their conversations. What exactly the man said he might not comment on publicly, said Pauli.
However, he added: If Germans allegedly committed a criminal offense abroad, there is a fundamental obligation to investigate in this country.
Suspects in custody in Mallorca
The five German tourists between the ages of 21 and 23 are accused of forcing a younger vacationer from Germany to have sex on the Spanish Mediterranean island last week, or of having watched idly. They are in custody in Mallorca. According to dpa information, they come from North Rhine-Westphalia.
