A bank teller at Bank Sparkasse, one of the largest banks in Germany, refused to open an account for an Israeli living in Berlin, telling him that Israeli passport holders are under embargo.
As a result of Ynet’s request for comment, the bank’s management – after an inquiry that lasted two weeks – responded by saying it was an error done by the teller, adding: „All we can do is apologize.“
