England rugby star Billy Vunipola has been fined 240 euros (£205) following an incident in Majorca, Spain, where he was arrested, according to RUCK sources.
The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday in Palma, the capital of the Spanish island, during which Vunipola was allegedly Tasered by police in the early hours of the morning and subsequently charged with "resisting the law".
While the police investigation has concluded, Vunipola's club, Saracens, has stated they will handle the matter "internally".
Vunipola himself has characterised the incident as an "unfortunate misunderstanding" and has pledged to cooperate fully with Saracens' internal investigation. He refuted claims of violence or threats, asserting there was no altercation involving bottles or chairs.
"Contrary to media reports, there was no violence, no fight and I did not threaten anybody at any stage, with bottles or chairs or anything else," Vunipola stated.
Vunipola has since paid the fine and issued an "unreserved apology" to those affected by the incident.
Despite initial doubts surrounding his proposed move to Montpellier, recent reports suggest such concerns have been dispelled.
"All is well," revealed a source close to the French club, owned by billionaire Mohed Altrad. "No one in France is talking about it."

AI predicts the next 20 Six Nations winners, Scotland finally win it
Groundbreaking AI technology has unveiled its jaw-dropping forecasts for the next two decades of Six Nations glory, and the results are nothing short of mind-blowing.
According to the cutting-edge predictions, England is poised to clinch victory in a staggering five out of the next 20 tournaments, while Scotland is primed for a historic triumph, marking their first title since their Five Nations conquest in 1999.
However, the road ahead seems daunting for Wales, as the AI oracle forecasts a prolonged wait until 2041 for their next taste of Six Nations glory.
Meanwhile, traditional powerhouses such as England, Ireland, and France are slated to dominate the competition, casting a shadow over Welsh aspirations.
