Hidden cameras: Countless women in Mallorca secretly filmed in pub toilets

A man has been arrested in Mallorca for secretly filming dozens of women in his bar's toilet. According to the findings, the 42-year-old filmed at least 38 women in his establishment in the Mallorcan capital Palma in the past two years, the newspaper "Diario de Mallorca" reported on Wednesday, citing the police of the Spanish holiday island. To do this, he hid two small, state-of-the-art cameras in bottles, it said.

The whole thing only blew up because a customer discovered one of the cameras activated by movement and immediately alerted the police. When analyzing the camera's memory card, recordings of 38 different women were counted. In addition, one and the same man can be seen again and again on the videos, checking the correct functioning of the device. The Spaniard is one of the operators of the bar. He was arrested on Tuesday.

In the meantime, a further 44 memory cards have been secured in the pub and in the man's apartment, but they have not yet been analyzed. These could contain up to 5000 recordings. It will be extremely difficult to identify the victims, as most of the women only see the lower half of their bodies. Meanwhile, there is still no evidence that the perpetrator shared the recordings with third parties or published them online.
