Fake pope held in Rome for looking like John Paul II 像若望保祿二世的假教宗在羅馬被捕

A Slovak street performer dressed in white papal vestments has been detained and fined by the police in Rome for bearing too close a resemblance to the late John Paul II, the police said on Friday.

警方週五說,一名身穿白色教宗法衣的斯洛伐克街頭藝人,因為太像已故教宗若望保祿二世,在羅馬遭到警方拘留並罰款。

"The problem was that he looked a lot like Karol Wojtyla. He was detained for usurpation of title which is a misdemeanour," a police spokeswoman told AFP. "The cassock he was wearing has been confiscated," she added.

警方一名女發言人告訴法新社:「問題是他看起來太像卡羅.沃提拉(教宗本名)。他因為侵占頭銜這個小罪遭到拘留。」她還說:「他穿的法衣已被沒收。」

The man has been released and will have to pay between 154 and 929 euros ($200 and $1,200), depending on a decision by a judge, the spokeswoman said.

這名女發言人說,該名男子已經獲釋,必須繳納154到929歐元罰款,看法官如何裁定。
