In Stanzertal (Tyrol), the Tyrolean police also checked increasingly on Friday.

96 Reports during checks at the accommodation

Upon inspecting 44 accommodations and 133 people, 96 complaints were initially filed and 29 security deposits collected, the executive said in a broadcast.

I met guests from all over the world.

In addition, an official quarantine and an official PCR test were ordered. The British, Danes, Swedes, Romanians, Germans, Australians, Irish and Poles, among others, were denounced and controlled. The police, on behalf of or in coordination with the Landeck District Authority and with the participation of the municipalities concerned, paid special attention to compliance with the Registration Act and the provisions on second homes and the Emergency Measures Ordinance and Covid entry.

Juicy punishments threaten

The penalty under the Epidemic Law for violations of regulation is up to 2,180 euros, he said. The checks were carried out “very efficiently and without significant problems in the accommodation establishments and staff accommodation,” said the district’s police commander, Christoph Patigler. Violations of the law in this area “are not trivial crimes.”

Parties at the hay barns in St. Anton caused a stir

The director of the Tirol state police, Edelbert Kohler, had recently defended himself against allegations of too few controls. In an interview with ORF Tirol, Tyrol’s chief police officer had emphasized that people have been checking very frequently for weeks. Regarding the alleged parties in the hay barns in St. Anton, he spoke of “half truths.”

Many registered second homes

It is true that many second homes have been registered, but that in itself does not constitute a crime. People have also been found to stay off the slopes and consume drinks or snacks there, according to Kohler. These are not only Dutch or British, but also locals, and as long as the distance is kept, there is no reason for the police to intervene.
