Two employees at the Westin were subsequently suspended while the accusations are investigated, a spokeswoman for the Marriott International hotel group said on Wednesday. “Prosecutors are currently examining the accusations made against the hotel employees,” said authorities in Leipzig. Ofarim rejected the defamation allegation, saying that it was “exactly like how I described it in the video”. After the video was published on Tuesday, thousands of individuals gathered outside the hotel to demonstrate in solidarity with the singer and against anti-Semitism. Ofarim is the son of the singer Abi Ofarim, who died in 2018.
