Three Real Madrid players are ‘arrested over claims of sharing a sex tape of an underage teenage girl… and police claim several others at the club could be involved’ according to reports in Spain

Three Real Madrid players have been arrested, respected Spanish news website El Confidencial is reporting.

The media outlet says they were held after the mother of an underage teenage girl went to police to claim one of the trio filmed a sex video of the youngster and sent it to others.

Police confirmed on Thursday night arrests had been made.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Gran Canaria said: ‘A mother accompanied by her daughter under the age of 16 has reported to police in Santa Maria de Guía in Las Palmas province in Gran Canaria that there are supposedly some recordings of her daughter’s consensual sexual relations, which were recorded without her consent and which she now knows are being circulated.

‘The events that occurred in the town of Mogan date back to mid-June but she said she has now learned these images exist.”

The force added: ‘For this reason, Court 3 in San Bartolome de Tirajana has ordered the Civil Guard to make several people available to the court.’

Confirming none of the detainees were from Real Madrid’s first team, the spokesman said: ‘Their mobiles have been seized and they have been freed for the time being.

‘The arrests occurred this morning. One of the detainees is a Real Madrid Castilla player and the other two are Real Madrid C players.

‘Another player from Real Madrid C is being investigated.’

Real Madrid Castilla Football Club is Real Madrid’s reserve team. It is currently managed by club legend Raul.

Real Madrid said in a statement on Thursday night: ‘Real Madrid wishes to announce that it has learned that a Castilla player and three Real Madrid C players have made statements to the Civil Guard in relation to a complaint about the alleged broadcasting of a private video via WhatsApp.

‘When the club has detailed knowledge of the facts, we will take the appropriate measures.’

None of the detainees have been named.

Court sources in Gran Canaria denied some reports in Spain the men had already appeared in court and been granted bail following an appearance before a judge.

The well-placed judicial insiders said a police report was expected to be sent to a judge on Friday who would then decide when to summon them for questioning under oath. – MailOnline
