The hope that football professional Atakan Karazor from VfB Stuttgart will be released from custody in Ibiza on Monday has apparently been dashed. Serious allegations are made against the 25-year-old on the Balearic island. According to a media report, a second woman is said to have been involved.
Charges against two 25-year-olds: Two German vacationers arrested on charges of rape in Ibiza will probably have to remain in custody for a longer period of time. The spokeswoman for the judicial authority of the Balearic Islands, Agnés Antich, told the German Press Agency on Monday that she was not aware of any date for a detention review. The identity of the two 25-year-olds, against whom a judge had ordered custody, could still not be disclosed for reasons of data protection.

No consular support: According to the consulate responsible for the Balearic Islands in La Palma, the two Germans have not requested consular support. If this is the case, this will be guaranteed immediately.
VfB Stuttgart confirms arrest: On Saturday, VfB Stuttgart announced that its midfielder Atakan Karazor had been arrested on vacation in Ibiza. However, the 25-year-old denies any criminal act. “VfB is in constant contact with its lawyers,” it said. The Swabians did not want to say what Karazor was accused of. “Since this is an ongoing process, we ask for your understanding that VfB cannot comment further for the time being.” This remained the case on Monday. It is the presumption of innocence.
Police do not name names: The police on Ibiza only wanted to confirm the arrest of two Germans when asked by dpa. You would be accused of rape by a young Spanish woman. No further information could be given, it said. Rape in Spain carries a prison sentence of up to 15 years. In the worst case, pre-trial detention can last up to four years.
Second woman apparently involved: The “Bild” reported on Monday that on the night of the crime, in addition to the 18-year-old, another woman was with the two 25-year-old men. However, she does not raise any rape allegations, the newspaper said. As a witness, she could play such an important role.
