Magaluf ‘wolf pack’ who gang-raped British teen named and jailed for 73 years

The identities of the ‘wolf pack’ who preyed on a British teenage girl in a horrific gang rape at a Magaluf hotel, along with the gruesome details of their confessed crimes, were revealed in a Spanish court.

The group, consisting of seven French men and one Swiss national, accepted prison sentences totalling just over 73 years after negotiating plea bargain deals with prosecutors as their four-day trial was set to commence. They had been cautioned that they could face imprisonment for more than 150 years if found guilty as charged before they opted to plead guilty as part of their agreements.

Today, we can disclose their identities – and detail the actions of each of the eight perpetrators towards the 18-year-old British holidaymaker around breakfast time on August 14, 2023, at the BH Mallorca Resort.

Five of the self-admitted sex attackers violated their victim and were sentenced to either eleven or nine years in prison yesterday at the Audiencia Provincial court in Palma, Majorca, depending on whether they had committed the act once or multiple times. Another admitted to a sexual assault that didn’t involve penetration – and received a four-year prison sentence.

All eight admitted to filming the sickening gang rape that scarred their victim for life in room 108 of the Magaluf hotel. Two of the men posted the horror footage on Snapchat. French tourists Khalil Abderrahmen Mejbri and Romain Charles Michel Galatioto “orally penetrated” their victim, who had been drinking heavily and during the half-hour-long gang rape “fell into a state of unconscious”.

Galatioto did so seven times while the teenager was naked apart from her bra, according to court documents all the men have signed as part of their plea bargain deals. Frenchman Anthony Guy Gerard Wengler and Swiss national Lucas Haiaiel Ngandjeu Djamen Tchatchou raped her at “least once” using both their fingers and penises, as well as Thomas Eric Coretin Wisniewski who is also from France.

Tchatchou and Wengler, who was staying in room 108, also “spat at her anal area while she was face-down, and hit and whipped her bottom” along with Mejbri after Frenchman Satilmis Sahan slapped her on the backside.

French national Anthony Auque, who was holidaying with Wengler, and fellow Frenchman Mouhamadou Wade watched on while the 30-minute gang rape occurred and along with the rest of the ‘Wolf pack’ surrounded their victim yelling out disgusting insults.

Members of the group also “laughed out loudly” as they shouted out other insults including: “There’s four of us and there’s a cow,” as Galatioto pleasured himself.

The document, the plea agreement all eight men accepted and signed, says: “Each one of the defendants with their mobile phones, during the incidents previously described, recorded several videos in which they honed in on their victim’s private parts and in which they appeared obliging her to carry out sexual acts or performing acts of an identical nature upon her as aforementioned.

“Anthony Auque recorded with his mobile phone 14 videos lasting 170 seconds in total; Khalil Abderrahmen Mejbri recorded with his mobile phone five videos lasting 142 seconds; Mohamadou Wade recorded with his mobile phone two videos lasting a total of 26 seconds and took a photograph; and Anthony Guy Gerard Wengler; Satilmis Sahan; Romain Charles Michel Galatioto; Thomas Eric Coretin Wisniewski; and Lucas Haiaiel Ngandjeu Djamen Tchatchou did the same on at least one occasion.

“Boasting about the actions taken and with the clear intention of humiliating and violating his victim, Mejbri and Wade sent and shared the content of their recordings through the Snapchat app.

“Those recordings were taken during the time in which their victim was semi-conscious or unconscious so that she was unable to consent to it.”

Mejbri and Wisniewski accepted a nine-year prison sentence for a crime of “sexual assault with carnal access”, a severe form of sexual crime involving non-consensual sexual penetration of the victim.

Wengler, Tchatchou and Galatioto were handed 11-year jail sentences after admitting the same offence. Sahan admitted a crime of “sexual assault without penetration” for which he was given a four-year prison sentence.

All eight men, the five self-confessed sexual offenders as well as Auque and Wade who admitted to filming their victim being targeted, were each handed two-year three-month prison sentences after admitting a crime of violation of privacy relating to the recordings they made on their mobile phones.

Sahan, Auque and Wade had already been granted bail before the scheduled start of yesterday’s trial and remain on bail. At least two of them are unlikely to be hauled back to prison because of time they served on remand behind bars before they were granted bail around nine months ago.

The other five remain in prison pending a further court hearing next month where a judge is set to be asked by their defence lawyers to agree to kick them out of Spain once they have served part of their jail time.

Well-placed sources said they believed they could be expelled from Spain after doing around six or seven years in prison, although public prosecutors are expected to try to convince judges who will have the final say that they should serve their full sentences.

The British teenager targeted, whose defence lawyer Irene Hernandez works for respected Spanish law firm Campaner Law, had previously been told she did not need to appear in person or via videoconference at the men’s trial. The witness statement she had already given under oath during the judicial investigation was deemed sufficient.

She is understood to have admitted to cops she had no real recollection of the multiple sex attacks she was subjected to because she was barely conscious after drinking heavily.

Both the public prosecutor and the holidaymaker’s lawyer had to agree to the punishments meted out to the men who targeted her as part of their plea bargain deals.

The sickening footage recorded by the men, who came from different groups and didn’t all know each other before they targeted their victim, proved key in their arrests and subsequent successful prosecution.

One well-placed insider said: “They came from about four different groups. The room where the sexual assaults took place was occupied by two friends but they didn’t know the others involved.

“It was almost a case of them opening the door and inviting others passing by in the corridor to join in. If the men hadn’t filmed what they’d done they could have got off scot-free.”

Another said: “If they hadn’t put their hands up to wrongdoing as part of plea bargain deals and decided to go to full trial, many of these men could have spent the rest of their lives in prison.

“Some have never agreed to answer questions or give statements. These men appear on the surface to be regular young guys who don’t come from broken families and have never tried to allege they were acting out of character by trying to link what they did to the abuse of alcohol or drugs. It’s such a shocking case.”

Two of the suspects, charged following a lengthy probe by an investigating magistrate, were held abroad on a European Arrest Warrant and extradited. Six were detained in Majorca.

At least six of the men are known to have been aged between 18 and 26 when they were arrested. None of the eight had criminal records in Spain at the time they committed their sickening offences.

After the incident involving the British teenager, the BH Mallorca Resort said it was cooperating fully with the authorities and offered its support to the unnamed holidaymaker.

A spokesman said in a statement at the time: “The BH Mallorca Resort deeply regrets what has happened and would like to manifest its firm and forceful repudiation of the alleged sexual attack that occurred in the early hours of Monday August 14 at the hotel.

“The hotel also wants to demonstrate its solidarity with the alleged victim of this aggression. We are co-operating fully with the Civil Guard and its investigators in everything they consider to be necessary.

“This hotel ratifies through this statement its commitment to the condemnation of all types of sexual attacks that affect peoples’ dignity and physical integrity. “Behaviour that undermines those rights has no place in this establishment.”

The Civil Guard in Majorca said in a statement after the last of the eight arrests: “The Civil Guard has closed the investigation sparked by the alleged gang rape that took place in a hotel in Magaluf in the early hours of August 14 2023.”

“Officers saw early on the complexity of the investigation, as the alleged aggressors didn’t form part of the same group of friends but encouraged by other participants, had allegedly joined the group action in sporadic acts, meaning no type of relationship existed between them.”

Confirming the first six suspects had been held the day of the sex attack and remanded in prison, a force spokesman added: “The probe continued to identify the two young men whose arrests were pending.

“One they had been identified, officers discovered they had taken a flight to Baden-Baden in Germany so they could head to their homes in the Strasbourg area. The Civil Guard sought the assistance of the French authorities through the normal channels and issued European Arrest Warrants to avoid them evading justice.

“On Sunday August 20 2023 the French police confirmed they arrested one of them in the French locality of Scherwiller before subsequently confirming a second arrest at Basilea Mulhouse Freiburg Airport in France, when that suspect was trying to take a flight to Turkey to avoid detention.”

A security guard at the hotel where the incident occurred came to the rescue of the British teenager after finding her sobbing on the floor in the lobby. He had just come in for his morning shift and described the police response at the time as very quick and efficient.

Bruises were found on the tourist’s arm during a medical examination which were believed to have been caused by her sex attackers holding her down. She also suffered a cut to her chest. The eight men convicted have had to compensate their victim with more than EUROS 100,000.
