The incident in question occurred on July 22, 2007, when two Dutch tourists were given a bill for Ft 179,000. When they could not pay, one of them was taken to an ATM to withdraw cash while the other was prevented from leaving the Caligula. When one of them began arguing, bouncers punched him and kicked him.

The following day two Mexicans and an American were charged Ft 377,000 for drinking three beers at the same club.

One and then a second were taken away to withdraw cash while the other two were forced to stay. They eventually paid more than Ft 500,000.
