PE247 – Members of the Spanish national team threw objects such as soap, water bottles, and TV remotes out of the windows of their hotel rooms in Fortaleza (CE). This is because, according to hotel employees who asked not to be identified, some prostitutes were prevented from accompanying the players to their rooms. According to hotel policy, guests are not allowed to bring companions upstairs. The incident follows the Spanish team's visit to Recife (PE). On the 16th, after beating Uruguay 2-1, some players claimed to have been robbed of around a thousand euros. Investigations indicate that the alleged theft occurred after a party with alcohol and the presence of prostitutes.
Reports indicate that defender Piqué and goalkeeper Casillas do not fit the description of attempting to bring prostitutes to the hotel. While the defender reportedly spent the night with his parents and his girlfriend, singer Shakira, the goalkeeper allegedly went to a nightclub with his girlfriend, journalist Sara Carbonero.
The hotel stated that it will not comment on the matter, but is keeping records of the damages for later reimbursement. The Spanish national team has declined to comment.
