THREE British tourists have been arrested in Gran Canaria for constantly insulting a gay couple on their flight from East Midlands airport.
The accused holidaymakers, aged between 25 and 28, made homophobic comments throughout the journey from the Nottingham terminal to the Canary Islands on Thursday, February 8, and carried on doing so on the bus from the aircraft to the terminal.
Their victims, an all-male couple, told the police upon arrival and, two weeks later, the Guardia Civil has managed to locate their tormenters at a resort in the Playa del Inglés area in the south of the island.
They were interrogated by a duty judge in Telde, Gran Canaria and charged with offences against fundamental rights on the grounds of discrimination against individuals for their sexual orientation.
It is not known whether they have been remanded in custody, but they are likely to have to return to Spain for trial and could face a suspended prison sentence and a fine.
