Based on the Spanish Police's investigation, the German tourists decided to go for a drink on the Playa de Palma beach.

The young victim was also having fun with her friends and was also at the Playa de Palma boulevard.

She met one of the suspects there and decided to converse with the German tourist.

Some sources said that the girl and the German even kissed. After that, the rapist asked her to go to the hotel.

However, they were not alone, as five other Germans were drinking in the hotel room as well.

After seeing that there were other men, the young Spanish girl decided to leave the place.

But, she was prevented by one of the German tourists. The girl said that some detainees raped her while others just watched the horrifying incident.

The woman was able to flee the hotel room after the incident and warned the receptionist about what happened.

After that, the National Police was called to the scene. The suspects were arrested, and the victim was taken to the Son Llatzer hospital.

To help the Spanish girl, the Agents of the Family and Women's Car Unity of the National Police (UFAM) launched an investigation against the German tourists.
