The tenant of the Pischa mountain restaurant in Davos has been sentenced to a conditional fine for racial discrimination because he no longer rented out sledges to Jewish guests. He must also pay a fine.
The tenant was found guilty of discrimination by refusing to provide services on the basis of race, ethnicity or religion, as Graubünden public prosecutor Franco Passini explained on Wednesday in response to a report in the daily newspaper "Südostschweiz".
He was sentenced by the public prosecutor's office in Graubünden. Passini did not disclose the amounts of the penalties. The judgment is legally binding.
At the beginning of winter, the tenant of the restaurant in the small Davos ski resort of Pischa refused to continue renting out sledges and other sports equipment to Jewish tourists. He made this known with a notice at the rental counter in Hebrew. According to the letter, various "annoying incidents" had led to the rental stop.
