Marrakech Pizza Hoax: Police Debunk 200 Euro Viral Video

A viral video showing an angry German tourist in Marrakech set social media ablaze this weekend. The traveler denounced an exorbitant bill. The police investigation has just revealed a completely different truth, entirely sweeping away these accusations.

The investigations by the police prefecture made it possible to identify and question the owner of the establishment located in the old medina. The latter formally denied any attempted fraud. The altercation actually dates back more than a week before the Eid al-Adha celebration. According to the restaurant owner, he was simply trying to deny access to his premises to the customer due to her manifest state of intoxication and her particularly impulsive behavior.

This official clarification comes after the massive distribution of a sequence on Saturday showing this foreign national in a black rage. Internet users relaying the images claimed she had been ordered to pay nearly 200 euros for a single meal. This unusual price had immediately sparked a heated online controversy, with many seeing it as an abusive practice harmful to the city’s tourism sector.

However, the authorities emphasized that they had not recorded any reports or any complaints concerning these facts. Verifications carried out on the ground also provided a definitive contradiction to the rumor: the targeted business absolutely does not offer pizzas on its menu, contrary to the details mentioned in the viral video. The allegations spread on digital platforms are therefore completely inaccurate and unfounded.
