A court in Palma has taken over the investigation into two alleged rapes of women, several months apart, committed by a former British tycoon at a five-star hotel in Portals Nous, Calvia. The suspect apparently contacted the victims through a luxury sex services website and both women travelled to the island after arranging to meet the man. After being located by officers from the Calvia Guardia Civil and questioned at the barracks, he was released.
