He was summoned to the police station at 5 p.m. this Wednesday to report.

The manager of a Nice brewery who defied the ban by serving a hundred customers at noon is in police custody.

But not for violating government anti-Covid-19 decrees.

During his checks in the establishment, the police discovered that Christophe Wilson employed a foreigner in an irregular situation.

The restaurateur "is in custody tonight" and "his cook, a foreigner in an irregular situation working there, has been placed in detention," said the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes on its Twitter account.

Customers will be "all fined"

"The identified people who took part in this prohibited gathering were where all will be fined", also insisted on the state services in the department calling for "respect for the rules by all, for the health of all".

After taking reservations by messages, this restaurant owner reopened his covered terrace on Wednesday to serve a hundred customers for two services.

Christophe Wilson, taking up the slogans (“freedom!”, “Resistance!”) Chanted by his customers of the day, served his plates without wearing a mask, considering in particular that “the pandemic, all that, these are lies”.
