Three Real Madrid players have reportedly been arrested by Spanish authorities for an alleged case of 'revealing secrets of sexual nature'.
That's according to El Confidencial, who claim investigations are being carried out by the Judicial Police of the Las Palmas Civil Guard and focus on several footballers, whose identities have not been revealed.
The report states that the players detained are from the Castilla, the reserve team and the third team.

But several more players could be involved, including the first team, per the report.
The complaint was filed on September 6 in the Canary Islands when a mother of a minor came to report.
It's claimed that one of detainees recorded a sexual video of her and then shared it across WhatsApp.

The arrests took place this morning and the players have been taken to local police stations for questioning.
They are accused of an alleged crime of keeping secrets. Investigators want to seize the mobile phone to proceed with its investigation.
In wake of the revelation, the club released a statement: "Real Madrid announces that it has learned that a Castilla player and three Real Madrid C players have given a statement to the Civil Guard in relation to a complaint for the alleged dissemination of a private video on WhatsApp.
"When the club has detailed knowledge of the facts, it will adopt the appropriate measures."
