Police investigation following Magaluf sex-video
A police investigation has begun into "activities" carried out in a Magaluf bar which were filmed and went viral.
The video showed a British teenage girl performing a sex act on 24 men in a bar during a pub crawl organised by British firm Carnage Magalluf, which has since distanced itself from the incident.
Manuel Onieva, the Mayor of the Calvia region which covers the resort, confirmed that the issue was now in the hands of the Town Hall legal services department.
"They have the responsibility to observe this situation from our legal perspective so we can explore options to prevent events like this occurring in our resort and leisure areas," he said.
He said following the incident, new laws have been passed forcing companies operating pub crawls in Calvia to apply for a licence through the town hall.
Each pub crawl guide will have to wear a specific jacket so local police can monitor those operating in the region and identify those that have been approved.
Pub crawl groups can now not exceed more than 50 people and if any operators exceed this legal capacity, they will be fined.
Onieva said since 2012, Visit Calvia has been working very successfully PR and marketing agency KBC PR & Marketing in the UK, to improve its image.
"It is such a shame that an irresponsible act by one rogue operator is threatening to undo our hard work. Our commitment to promote our beautiful region to the UK remains as strong as ever," he added.
