Customers are said to have paid the voluntary fees for toilets at motorway service stations and in fast-food restaurants. The 49-year-old initially did not comment on the allegations. Her lawyer later wanted to read out a written statement.
In the years 2005 to 2008, the accused is said to have concealed toilet money sales and the profits made with them in eight cases.
