Employees of Kempinski’s Hotel Adlon in Berlin are under investigation for allegedly skimming off more than €1 million (US$1.1 million) by selling drinks and other hotel property to guests and pocketing the cash, according to a Friday AP report.
The Adlon reported the losses to authorities after noticing irregularities through internal checks. Prosecutors are investigating an unspecified number of employees on suspicion of breach of trust, the dpa news agency reported Thursday.
The hotel says the employees under investigation have been suspended during the investigation and no guests were adversely affected by the scheme.
