Four Italian graffiti writers
have been arrested in Ahmedabad for allegedly drawing graffiti
on two carriages of a metro train in the Indian city, sources
said on Tuesday.
The four have been named as 24-year-old Gianluca Cudini from
Tortoreto, near Teramo, Baldo Sacha, 29, from Monte San Vito,
near Ancona, Daniele Stranieri, 21 from Spoltore, in the
province of Pescara, and 27-year-old Paolo Capecci from
Grottammare, near Ascoli Piceno.
They allegedly sprayed the graffiti on Saturday night, hours
before the inauguration of a new metro line in the Gujarat
capital by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Baldo's family said via Monte San Vito Mayor Thomas Cillo that
they were in contact with the Italian embassy in India, which
had given reassurances about the way the four young men were
being treated.
Cillo said that one trial was taking place and another was
likely to follow as the four were facing two separate charges.
