13 German tourists ordered to pay €500,000 damages for burning down a bar in Mallorca

His decision was made based on the findings of a report prepared by the firefighters who tackled the fire, both those of Palma Fire Station, and of Mallorca, after their intervention in the incident.

According to the report, the roof of the restaurant terrace was ‘totally affected’, as was all the furniture in this area and the facilities of this establishment. The high temperatures caused the roof tiles to break. Meanwhile, the pub located below suffered leaks from the water coming from the upper floor.

Serious damage was caused to the house located above the restaurant, to the furniture on the terrace, and from smoke leaked into the interior. The hotel where the alleged perpetrators of the fire were staying was ‘affected by smoke inside, and on the façade’.

‘Breakage of the glass of the adjoining terrace’ was also registered by the establishment. ‘Public wiring’ was also affected by the fire, specifically, ‘several foreign lines’.

After referring to this list of material damage caused by the flames and smoke, the judge highlighted the existence of injured people ‘whose consequences have not yet been determined’. For all these reasons, the judge considered that they must face ‘pecuniary responsibilities’.
