90 year-old occupies bank! [View all]

(Via translate.google.com)

Zehdenick (MZV Germany) A strange incident occured on Thursday at the Commerzbank branch in Zehdenick. The 90-year-old Gerda Hensel wanted to withdraw money from her account, and the bank denied it. Then the woman occupied the branch.

After heavy persuasion of employees did not help, the staff called the police. The officers asked the woman to leave the branch. Then the pensioner continued her protest against the bank in front of the door. Her escort, Sylvia Kruger had taken to this end a banner out of his pocket. On the stand: "The bank is not worth my money! Shame in Germany."
