Although investigations are still in the preliminary stages, one line of inquiry suggests the fire was deliberately ignited to prevent the hotel’s use as an asylum seeker centre. This incident joins a disturbing trend of attacks on facilities designated for international protection applicants or Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s invasion.
