SPANISH police have arrested eight people who they accused of blatantly flouting the coronavirus lockdown by organising a drug-fuelled orgy.

Undercover cops in Barcelona raided the raunchy revellers as they prepared to indulge in a group sex session at a holiday apartment during the country's strict Covid-19 curfew.

More than 4,089 people have died so far in Spain from coronavirus, the highest death toll of any country in the world except Italy.

Police chiefs revealed yesterday they made 55 arrests nationwide and fined more than 6,000 people for flouting Spain's coronavirus lockdown rules — which includes avoid close social contact.

In the Barcelona orgy raid, drugs including cocaine and liquid ecstasy were also seized from the apartment, which had been rented for a week by one of the partygoers.

Local reports said another 20 people were expected at the sex bash, organised as a website launch, before police intervened.

One of the partygoers was said to have tipped off detectives after feeling guilty about breaking the lockdown rules.

The sex party guests are set to be fined for breaching government orders to remain at home and avoid socialising.

More than 31,000 people were fined for flouting Spain’s coronavirus lockdown rules in the first week after they were introduced last Saturday by PM Pedro Sanchez.

Another 350 have been arrested nationwide, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has revealed.

Most citizens have applauded the way Spain's lockdown is being policed, but some officers were criticised for being too forceful.

Two policemen were filmed dragging a youngster off his motorbike and arresting him in the street after a heated row.

One of the officers shouted back: “Your dad can suck my d##k.”

The officers grabbed the unnamed Spaniard in Barcelona, but he pushed one of the cops away with his hand.

Before he was pulled to the ground he snatched one of the officers’ masks from his face.

Police chief Alfredo Perdiguero, commenting on a video of a jogger being handcuffed by two officers on the ground, said: “On top of everything she asks for help.

"I don’t know what world people live in. Police tell her she can’t go out running and she doesn’t give a damn.”

In Madrid earlier this week officers on horseback were filmed pursuing a cyclist who had refused their orders to stop.

It is not known if they managed to catch up with him and arrest him.

CORONAVIRUS CURFEW

Another police officer was filmed slapping a man round the face in the Spanish capital after blasting him for breaking the coronavirus curfew to go and buy a beer.

Last week, police stopped a couple caught having sex in a parked car in the street in the Madrid neighbourhood of Villaverde.

They were told to go home after claiming they could not get intimate with each other where they lived because they shared with too many people.

Several people were fined by police in Alicante after they discovered they were taking it in turns to walk the same dog.
