MURCIA, Spain, March 8 (UPI) -- Three British soccer stars being held on rape charges in Spain sought to get out on bail Monday.
Leicester City's captain Paul Dickov, Keith Gillespie and Frank Sinclair, who have all won international honors, have spent four nights in a Murcia prison and were due to spend another, the BBC reported.
Luis Ruiperez, a leading lawyer in Cartagena, said submissions have been made, asking for the Leicester City players to be released, the Daily Mail reported.
The three were jailed Thursday over allegations they attacked three women at the five-star Hyatt Regency Hotel in the exclusive resort of La Manga where they were staying.
The women were about to board a flight for Germany when they made the accusations Tuesday at Alicante Airport, but have been persuaded to stay in Spain by police investigating the case.
A judge in Cartagena will review the bail request although it is unlikely that the players themselves will attend any hearing.
