England rugby player Billy Vunipola arrested and fined after nightclub incident on Spain island
England rugby international Billy Vunipola was arrested and fined after an incident at a nightclub in the Spanish island of Mallorca in which police officers reportedly used a Taser to subdue him.
English club Saracens released a statement on behalf of the 31-year-old Vunipola on X, formerly Twitter, in which he said he got involved in an “unfortunate misunderstanding” that “got out of hand” as he left a night spot in Palma in the early hours of Sunday.
Vunipola said he was charged with “resisting the law” and paid a fine of 240 euros following what he described as an “express trial.”
“The Spanish police investigation is now closed,” Vunipola said, “and I am flying back to the UK today.”
Saracens, where Vunipola has played his club rugby since 2013, said in a statement it was aware of an incident involving Vunipola and would deal with it “internally.”
