National Police have arrested a British man for the alleged crime of corruption of an underage teenage girl under the care of social services in Palma, Mallorca.

The 43-year-old British man has been arrested along with an Ecuadorian man, 20, and an underage girl as the alleged perpetrators of a crime of corruption of children, Ultima Hora reported on Sunday, April 10.

The investigation is ongoing as further arrests and the discovery of more victims are not ruled out.
