In the municipality of Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete, a British tourist claims she was raped by her taxi driver.
The 43-year-old woman said she was abused by the driver after he took her up from a bar in the early hours of May 31 in the tourist town of Hersonissos.
Instead of delivering her to her hotel, the woman said that the driver drove her to a remote location and raped her inside the vehicle.
Last Monday, Hersonissos police detained a 28-year-old male based on information provided by the victim, but no further details were released.
The 43-year-old was brought to a local hospital for a medical evaluation, while prosecutors interviewed her alleged attacker.
According to Greek news outlet Protothema, the man was released on Friday pending further inquiry after vehemently denying the allegations of rape and claiming the sex was consensual.
The British Embassy in Greece has been contacted for comment by MailOnline.
It comes just weeks after another British holidaymaker was allegedly raped in Corfu by a hotel worker.
According to a police source, a British mother informed police in Corfu last month that she awoke after a night out to discover a hotel staff on top of her.
Police apprehended a 40-year-old guy who rejected the allegations and said the sex was consensual.
The woman proceeded to a police station in the north of the Greek island to report the incident and later identified the hotel worker who had been brought in by police officials as her accused attacker.
