A popular tourist destination in Spain has been rocked by the discovery of five dead bodies with their hands and feet tied in the past month. The gruesome discoveries were made by the Civil Guard in the Balearic Sea near Ibiza, and are believed to be linked to the dangerous migrant crossings. The police have been tight-lipped about the corpses. Reports suggest that the corpses are of migrants trying to enter Spain via a dangerous crossing from Algeria. Dead bodies of migrants regularly wash ashore, but the latest discovery is particularly scary since they were bound and seemingly tortured and murdered.&nbsp;The discovery of the dead bodies was made in a staggered manner over a month, with the first one washing up on May 18. A private Belgian-flagged vessel sailing in waters west of Formentera spotted it floating in the sea and alerted the authorities. The patrol boat of the Civil Guard Río Segura, based in the Canary Islands, was patrolling the Balearic Islands at the time and reached the site. The crew spotted the lifeless body floating in the sea two hours later. It had an orange life jacket on, and its hands and feet were tied. Civil Guard agents and a forensic doctor examined the body to learn about the man's death.&nbsp;A few days later, another body tied at the hands and feet was seen floating in the waters of Formentera. It continued for the next few days, adding up the total number of dead bodies to five, all of them in the same condition. The procedure provided for cases of violent deaths has been activated for all cases. They are most likely migrants who were tortured at sea. Investigators think that all of them got into some kind of a scuffle while crossing the ocean, and were handcuffed and thrown into the sea.&nbsp;There has been a record registration of boats and migrants in the Balearics in recent days. According to data, a total of 2,695 people have reached the area in 130 boats this year. Meanwhile, tourists in the area have been witnessing horrifying scenes as several bodies keep washing up. In one instance, a human leg was discovered in the sea in Can Pastilla in Palma, Majorca. The dead body of a woman with no legs and a skeleton also washed ashore.&nbsp;The Algeria crossing is particularly life-threatening, but thousands of migrants continue to make the trip, hoping to reach Europe. They live in horrifying conditions and are brutally abused while journeying through the waters. However, since the crossings are illegal, no one ever reports what goes on behind the scenes of the deadly crossings, making investigating these abuses extremely difficult.&nbsp; &nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/cristiano-ronaldo" rel="dofollow">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>&rsquo;s son will not be shy of options in choosing which country to play for should he pursue football. Tipped to at least partially replicate his father&rsquo;s decorated footballing career, if not entirely, once he turns professional, Cristiano Ronaldo&rsquo;s son, currently playing within Al-Nassr&rsquo;s academy, is eligible to represent three different countries.
At a time when Ronaldo was plying his trade in Italy (<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/juventus" rel="dofollow">Juventus</a>) and England (<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/manchester-united" rel="dofollow">Manchester United</a>) after his super successful spell at Real Madrid (Spain), his son Cristiano Jr. was part of youth teams at both clubs before moving to the Middle East following his dad&rsquo;s world record transfer in 2022. Several reports also suggested that Ronaldo&rsquo;s eldest son trained two years above his age group upon arriving at Al-Nassr.
Following roaming around the globe exploring countless avenues, Cristiano Ronaldo&rsquo;s son has a chance to represent not one but three countries at the national level &ndash; Portugal, Spain and the US.
<h2>How can Cristiano Ronaldo&rsquo;s son play for three countries?</h2>
Ronaldo Jr can play for Portugal through his father&rsquo;s nationality, of course, and even qualifies for Spain after spending several of his growing-up years in the country, where his father tasted enormous success at the top-level football, winning countless trophies, including the coveted Champions League title three times on the trot.&nbsp;

Regarding Spain, a FIFA rule permits eligibility, as he spent three years or beyond in the country before turning 10.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the US could also reach out to him, as Ronaldo Jr was born in California and is thus eligible to represent the country.
However, any chances of him remaining eligible to play for England ended quickly as, for that, he would have to spend at least five years in the country to qualify; but since his birth, he could spend only a couple in the UK before his father&rsquo;s fallout with Manchester United saw him switch continents soon after.
<h3>'No pressure on him'</h3>
Although Ronaldo Jr is keen on turning professional and pursuing football following his father&rsquo;s footsteps, Cristiano Ronaldo is not keen to put too much pressure on his son.
"This generation, it is difficult to tell them something and let them do it,' Ronaldo said last year, as quoted by British outlet The Mirror. "They will always see their daddy as an example; they see me every day in what I do, at home, in training, or in a game. They see me work a lot.
"Right, in this moment, Cristiano wants to be a football player, but I don't make big pressure, I make a little. He's 14 years old, he has pressure already to be the son of Cristiano [senior]. Let him do his own mistakes, but I hope that in the future he can be a professional player.
"If he doesn't become a player, maybe another job, but I will always support him. We cannot put pressure on our sons because we are famous,&rdquo; he added.
