Two people suspected of having transformed a lodging into a nightclub near Toulouse were taken into custody for endangering the lives of others and the guests were fined, indicates a source close to the investigation, confirming information from La Dépêche du midi.
Disturbed by the noise and the comings and goings, residents alerted the gendarmes.
