Olympic Village: Toilet Damage Reported

Dozens of sanitary facilities have been damaged in the Milan Winter Olympic Village, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reports, writes LETA, referring to DPA.

Between mid-December and mid-January, 70 showers were damaged in three different athletes’ accommodation buildings, the newspaper told police.

Access to the newly built village was basically only possible with special passes and a QR code.

Police believe that various cutting tools were used. The newspaper reports that the incident was discovered only after damage to the water supply system was discovered.

The anti-terrorism unit of the Milan prosecutor’s office was also involved in the investigation.

Police are hoping to get answers using CCTV footage.

The two-week Winter Olympics will open on Friday.
