Top holiday resort approves huge fines for public sex and nudity in major crackdown on badly-behaved Brit tourists

The Suna day ago

A TOP holiday resort has approved huge fines for public sex and nudity in a major crackdown on badly-behaved Brit tourists.
The Algarve party resort of Albufeira has gone to war against boozy tourists and slapped new rules to curb alcohol-fueled debauchery.

Enraged City Hall officials on Friday approved huge new penalties of up to £3,375 for holidaymakers flouting a strict new 'good behaviour' code.
Hefty fines will now be imposed for everything from urinating in the street to getting naked.
The rules will kick in within weeks, in time for the summer season, aiming to curb anti-social behaviour.
And locals hope they will turn the tide, with nakedness, vomiting in the street and having sex in public all now coming at a heavy price.
Badly behaved tourists who go starkers in public, or get caught bonking or simulating sex, face paying anything from £1,685 to £3,375.
Spitting or urinating in the street will be punished with fines of between £125 and £630.
And entering bars and other businesses topless could lead to a £1,250 levy.
Bars and cafes which let ­customers in without the proper dress code will also be fined.
Brit tourists were first warned about the new get-tough rules in February when Albufeira's mayor Jose Carlos Rolo announced the "Code of Conduct" plans.
Last summer, a group of partying Brit tourists put on a shocking display of public nudity, leaving the locals fuming.

Footage of their drunken antics, showing them starkers on their knees in a line on top of a bar counter, went viral.
Rolo called the display 'deeply negative' and said he would call for police reinforcements.
He said last night: "Tourists who fall down drunk aren't needed here at all."
Predictably, Albufeira is fast becoming the go-to spot for young revellers looking for a boozy break.
During The Sun's investigation into tourist revelry in the town, we saw how cops and medics are already patrolling the mile-long strip — nicknamed 'The Chaos' by locals — to keep a firm eye on the crazy, drunken antics of holidaymakers.
Little wonder some end up in a terrible state, as girls are plied with free drinks at many pubs in a bid to lure in paying lads, while every bar offers shots from £1.70.
Local taxi driver Guilherme, 25, told The Sun: 'Stay here more than one night and you'll see tourists ­having sex in the street. Sometimes it's groups of naked men on ­balconies. It's shocking.'
Furious locals decided to bring in the new code of ­conduct after a group of ­ British louts got naked on a bar top and ­proceeded to crawl around in broad daylight last year.

It comes as a 21-year-old Brit was found dead at the foot of a set of steps in Albufeira's old town last Wednesday.
Cops are said to believe booze is behind the tragedy.
The news, which emerged on Saturday, came days after reveller Greg Monks, 38, from Glasgow, was found dead in a ravine near Albufeira.
He was there on a stag do and had left the party early to return to his hotel when it is thought he jumped over a wall while drunk, unaware there was a steep drop on the other side. He was missing for a week.
The fatalities shine an unwelcome light on the more dangerous and seedier side of the Algarve resort.
Once marketed as a family-friendly getaway, now a much younger crew of holidaymakers is descending on the cobbled streets, turning it into a nocturnal party town.

Two sentenced to life in prison for supplying bomb that killed journalist

Two men have been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of complicity in the murder of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. Jamie Vella and Robert Agius were accused of supplying the bomb that killed Ms Caruana Galizia. Advertisement Both were found guilty of the charges last week and were given the maximum sentence of life in prison on Tuesday. Ms Caruana Galizia, 53, was murdered on October 16 2017 by a car bomb that was detonated while she was driving near her home. The journalist had written extensively about suspected corruption in political and business circles in Malta. Her murder shocked Europe and triggered angry protests in Malta. At the time of her death, she was facing more than 40 libel suits. Advertisement The six-week trial also concerned the separate murder of a lawyer, Carmel Chircop, who was shot and killed in 2015. Two other men, George Degiorgio and Adrian Agius, were convicted and sentenced to life in prison for that murder on Thursday. George Degiorgio and his brother Alfred Degiorgio both pleaded guilty in 2022 to carrying out the murder of Ms Caruana Galizia. They were each sentenced to 40 years in prison. A third man, Vincent Muscat, pleaded guilty in 2021 for his role in the Caruana Galizia murder, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Advertisement He gave evidence in the recent jury trial after being granted a presidential pardon for his role in the Chircop murder on the condition he tell the whole truth. Yorgen Fenech, a prominent Maltese businessman, is currently out of jail on bail awaiting trial on charges of alleged complicity in the Caruana Galizia murder.
