They charged 20 euros for parking and 30 euros for entry. Two people suspected of having transformed a cottage near Toulouse into a nightclub with a hundred revelers were indicted on Tuesday, the prosecution said. One of them was remanded in custody.
“I decided to open a judicial investigation against the two people implicated (…) who agreed at least on the materiality of the facts attributed to them,” said prosecutor Dominique Alzéari in a press release.
The two organizers were thus indicted for exposing others to an immediate risk of death or injury, serious willful damage to the property of others, concealed work aggravated by concealment of activity and employees and concealment of theft.
