Major Levi Davis update as PI calls on cops to arrest X Factor star’s FRIEND who is ‘hindering probe’
COPS probing the disappearance of Levi Davis have been urged to arrest a friend accused of hindering the investigation.
The call has come from a private investigator working for the family of the missing 24-year-old X Factor star and former professional rugby player.
Levi was last seen leaving a pub in Barcelona on October 29 after taking a ferry to the city from Ibiza.
Before he vanished he spoke about being blackmailed by criminals who threatened to kill him and his family.
He spoke of his fears in a chilling last video that he initially deleted – but it re-emerged last week.
Reports have speculated that the missing former professional rugby player may have drowned after being hunted by criminals over a £100,000 debt.
Now in a bombshell twist, private investigator Gavin Burrows has said he will be urging Spanish police to arrest a friend of Levi’s who he alleges has hampered the inquiry.
“We’re asking the police to investigate a friend of Levi’s,” he told The Sun Online.
“We believe there’s enough evidence for them to be arrested and questioned in connection with Levi’s disappearance.
“We believe this person has been hindering the investigation.
“My team will be presenting a report to police in Barcelona this week.
“We’ve got a good relationship with the police, who are committed to finding out what happened, and we hope to work together with them.”
Burrows’ firm firm is offering a £10,000 reward for information that could lead to Levi being found.
He retrieved the Instagram video, which X Factor singer Levi first posted four days before he vanished, and released it with the agreement of family and friends to help get information.
