Police operation at the Fairmont Baku Hotel

Baku/05.07.20/Turan: Police conducted an operation against quarantine violators in one of the fashionable Baku hotels “Fairmont Baku” in Baku.

Some of the violators were taken to departments.

A police raid was carried out after the appearance on social networks of photo and video frames of a large number of people having a rest by the pool.

Interestingly, the hotel’s administration quite openly offered the “Espape” package on its page on the Instagramgram, which provides for hotel accommodation for 399 manats for the weekend.

The package of services included access to the outdoor pool.

And this despite the fact that the authorities in conditions of strict quarantine regime forbade citizens from visiting beaches and generally gathering in groups of more than 5 people.

Usually vigilantly monitoring social networks, security forces somehow missed this from view and the operation was carried out only today after the distribution of vacationers in the hotel pool. –06D--
