Eight Cuba volleyball players held in rape probe in Finland

Police in Finland investigating an alleged rape have arrested eight members of the Cuban national volleyball team.

They are suspected of raping a woman in a hotel in the Finnish city of Tampere on Friday, police say.

The Cuban team is in Finland taking part in the World League tournament.

Officials say they commented on the case because there had been speculation that the players had defected when they were not seen in the line-up.

Among those arrested is the team’s captain, who missed the match against Portugal on Sunday.

Police said they arrested three members of the team on Saturday and another five on Sunday after a complaint was made by a woman.

Details of the complaint have not been made public.

Quite surprising, it reminds one of all of these refugee stories in Scandinavia.

Were there no muslim immigrants available?

The mistake the Cubans made was not stating they were muslims, then the police would have just let them go.
