A British multi-millionaire has been arrested in Majorca after allegedly raping two women at a luxury hotel.
The 55-year-old, who has not yet been named, is alleged to have targeted the women on two separate occasions at a five-star hotel in Portals Nous, on the south-west of the island.
The British man was arrested on Wednesday after the second woman, a Ukrainian, told cops he forced himself on her.
She is reported to have flown to the island’s capital, Palma, for an arranged meeting with the suspect, but was taken to hospital by police after she alleged over the weekend that she had been raped.
Ultima Hora, a Spanish newspaper, reported that another woman, from South America, filed a complaint months ago alleging a similar attack.
Both women are reported to have met the millionaire on a ‘hypergamy’ website, where people can meet individuals of high net worths.
Spanish cops are said to have prepared a report for a court hearing in Palma, which is conducting a criminal investigation – though no charges have been filed.
The suspect was allowed to leave police custody without appearing before a judge.

He is reported to have amassed a major fortune in the early 2000s by setting up a mobile phone company.
But a decade later, he is said to have declared bankruptcy after squandering an estimated £40million fortune in just over 18 months.
