The 24-year-old has not been seen for four months
The disappearance of former Bath player Levi Davis is to be probed by a Spanish crime unit, four months after he was last seen in Barcelona.
Davis was last spotted on CCTV leaving the Old Irish Pub in the centre of the city and the 24-year-old remains a missing person.
However, a spokesman for Catalan Police told the BBC that the case has been handed over to a specialist crime unit for further investigation to determine whether a crime had been committed.
Spanish law prevents the police force from giving out further details on open cases but Catalan Police said the case concerned “disturbing” issues with “no logical explanation”.
