Police talk to UK tourist accused of carving name into Colosseum

Police in Italy have spoken to a UK tourist seen on filming carving initials into a wall at the 2,000-year-old Colosseum in Rome. The man was allegedly caught on video and could face up to five years in prison for vandalism and a fine of £13,000.

The man is reported to be from South West England. The video appears to show him scratching two initials into the wall.

Earlier this month, a video surfaced of a man in a flowery shirt using a key to scratch his and a woman's initials into the 1,900 year-old monument.
