“Overbearing idiots” fined for surfing through Venice’s Grand Canal
Two “overbearing idiots” who were caught surfing through Venice's Grand Canal have been identified and had their boards confiscated.
A furious Mayor Luigi Brugnaro shared footage of the pair calling for them to be found and punished for “making a mockery of the city”.
“Here are two overbearing idiots who make a mockery of the City,” his translated tweet read.
“I ask everyone to help us identify them to punish them even if our weapons are really blunt... we urgently need more powers for the Mayors in terms of public safety!
“To those who spot them, I offer a dinner!”
In a later post, the Mayor Brugnaro announced that the pair were caught and fined.
“Speaking of the two “heroes” of this morning, we have identified them!” he updated his followers.
He did not disclose how much their fine was but thanked everyone for their cooperation on catching the two.
