The detained woman has been accused of being involved in Nazi propaganda and has confessed to it.
According to the news agency, the prosecution has imposed a fine on the tourist, which he has accepted.
The tweet added that the guards arrested the tourist as she posed for a Nazi salute in front of the gate and her husband was taking pictures.
