According to reports of foreign ski tourists romping about illegally on Austrian slopes, the police filed 96 reports in a raid in Tyrol.

On Friday evening, 15 officers checked 133 people in 44 accommodations in St. Anton am Arlberg and in the Stanzertal, as the Tyrolean police reported.

"British, Danes, Swedes, Romanians, Germans, Australians, Irish and Poles, among others, were checked and reported," the police said.

"The penalty under the Epidemic Act for violations of the entry or emergency measures regulation is up to 2180 euros."

The mayor of St. Anton, Helmut Mall, sounded the alarm this week because, in his opinion, there were too many foreigners in the village who should not have been there because of the Corona rules.

They apparently took advantage of loopholes in the regulations: “Many people have registered second homes and claim to have the prospect of work.

But there are currently no jobs in tourism, ”the newspaper“ Kurier ”quoted the mayor as saying.
