The municipality of Utrecht says it is very sorry that Smulders is closing Aphrodite. “Everyone should be able to run their business in the city with a sense of security, and the municipality and the police are committed to this every day.”
The municipality emphasizes that enforcers make rounds in the shopping center more often after the incidents. “The two temporary flexible cameras at the shopping center will also remain in place for three months longer and there will be regular contact with the entrepreneurs of the shopping centre.”
