Cops arrest group that planned orgy amid coronavirus lockdown in Spain
Undercover cops in coronavirus-battered Spain have rounded up eight people accused of violating the lockdown by organizing a drug-fueled orgy in Barcelona, according to a report.
Over 3,600 people have died in Spain from COVID-19, but that apparently did not prevent the suspects from planning the sex bash, which was organized online, according to The Sun.
Amid a twang of remorse, one of the would-be revelers tipped off the authorities, who seized drugs including cocaine and liquid ecstasy from an apartment that had been rented for a week, the news site reported.
Twenty other people had planned to show up for the romp, according to local reports.
The suspects were expected to be fined for violating the strict lockdown rules, which over 31,000 people have so far also flouted, The Sun reported.
On Wednesday, police officials said 55 people have been arrested across the country and more than 6,000 fined for violating the rules.
