A 65-year-old male US tourist of
Egyptian origin who damaged two Vatican Museum busts last month
risks trial after police on Wednesday said they had wound up
their probe into the October 5 incident, judicial sources said.
The tourist, who knocked over the ancient Roman busts in an
apparent fit of anger, risks a jail term of two-to-five years.
The sculptures were lying on two shelves inside the Chiaramonti
Gallery.
The man, who was agitated and reportedly said he wanted to talk
to Pope Francis, tried to escape but was caught by Vatican
gendarmes, arrested and taken to a police station to be
questioned.
