Three unnamed Real Madrid youth players were arrested by Spanish police on Thursday for allegedly distributing private videos with sexual implications of minors, a police spokesman said.
A Civil Guard spokesman said the players, aged around 20, were detained at the white club’s training ground this month after complaints were received in the Canary Islands.
“They were arrested on suspicion of distributing videos containing sexual content about minors,” the spokesman said.
The spokesperson added that police had questioned a fourth young Real Madrid youth player in relation to the incident, but his involvement in the incident had not yet been clarified.
“Real Madrid announces that it is understood that a Castilla player and three Real Madrid C players have made statements to the National Guard regarding complaints about the alleged circulation of private videos on WhatsApp,” the statement said.
“When the club is informed of the facts in detail, appropriate measures will be taken,” the white entity added.
According to digital newspaper El Confidencial, citing investigative sources, the main person involved is a Real Madrid C team player who is said to have recorded himself having sex with a 16-year-old girl.
Two other players allegedly shared the video via WhatsApp without the girl’s consent.
