The victim- a Dutch national- was attacked on October 22.
He was travelling near his home when the three men pulled him over and said they worked for Interpol.
They proceeded to forcibly hold and attack him causing several injuries.
They stole several items including his money and then fled in a car which was later located by a Guardia Civil patrol.
Two of the group were arrested three days later.
They have been charged with robbery with violence and intimidation as well as making threats and extortion.
