Due to partial blockage, overnight stays may not be offered for tourist purposes. But a hotel in Cologne apparently violated these rules en masse. And now he could charge a big fine.
The police and the public order office came across a hotel full of tourists in Cologne. The operator and 22 of 43 guests are now threatened with high fines, as the city announced on Monday, because travel to the cathedral city for tourism purposes is prohibited due to the corona pandemic. Tourists were expelled from the hotel.
One room was also used for prostitution, which is currently also prohibited. The police arrested a prostitute. He received a criminal complaint. As the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” reports, the police apparently only discovered the many guests at the hotel after they were called to the hotel for fraud.
Registration forms are only filled out sporadically
According to the report, a man had arranged to meet a prostitute there, but she is said to have disappeared with his money without having performed the agreed service.
In addition to the illegal prostitution and the large number of guests, the police also found other violations. The hotel registration forms were only filled out with the guests’ first and last names. The hotel operator faces a fine of up to 5,000 euros, fines to tourists of up to 250 euros.
