Moroccan authorities have firmly denied viral social media claims that a German tourist was forced to pay €200 for a pizza meal in Marrakech before being removed from a local restaurant.
The allegations gained widespread attention after a video began circulating online showing a restaurant owner confronting and eventually preventing a foreign woman from entering his establishment. Accompanying captions and comments claimed that the woman had been the victim of a scam and was expelled after protesting an allegedly outrageous bill of €200 for a single pizza.
As the video quickly spread across social media platforms, Marrakech police opened an investigation to determine the facts surrounding the incident.
