A UK-based tourist accused of carving his and his girlfriend’s name into a wall of the Colosseum in Rome could face trial and up to five years in prison. Ivan Dimitrov, 27, who is from Bulgaria but lives with his girlfriend in Bristol, is accused of marking “Ivan + Hayley 23” with a key into a wall of the historic building. Footage of the incident was uploaded to YouTube by Californian tourist Ryan Lutz. The video, titled ‘A*****e tourist carves name in Colosseum in Rome 6-23-23,’ has received over 300,000 views. Italian police officer Major Roberto Martina explained that he had since spoken to the man after he was tracked down in Bulgaria during his European holiday. “We explained that he could be jailed for between two and five years and be fined up to 15,000 Euro,” Major Martina told the Mail Online. “He [Ivan] told us he was very upset by what he had done, and he kept apologising for it. I think he was worried about the consequences of any trial. A report of the investigation will be sent to Dimitrov’s home address in the UK before any potential trial proceeds, the news site reported. “We didn’t ask him why he did it, that will be for the judge to hear, we just told him that he was a suspect and part of the investigation,” Major Martina added. The fitness trainer and his girlfriend were said to be holidaying in Rome on a three-week European tour when the incident took place. The Italian culture minister Gennaro Sanguiliano said the act “offended those around the world who appreciate the value of archaeology, monuments and history,” and thanked the police for identifying the alleged suspect. The minister said that the government was considering a law that would impose stringent punishment on those found guilty of defacing or damaging the country’s historical and cultural heritage sites.

Donald Trump will appear in court by video today for his second hearing in his criminal case after he became the first US president in American history arrested and charged with a crime. The former president will appear virtually in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday afternoon so that Judge Juan Merchan can make sure he understands the terms of the protective order in the case. The judge imposed the order after Mr Trump took aim at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Merchan himself as he was charged with 34 felonies for falsifying business records while making hush money payments to cover up alleged affairs with women. This comes as Mr Trump’s other legal troubles are also heating up. On Monday, author E Jean Carroll amended her remaining defamation lawsuit against Mr Trump to include the derogatory remark she made about her at a CNN town hall. Attorney Roberta Kaplan filed a proposed update to the $10m Manhattan civil court complaint to include the comments which were made by Mr Trump after he was found liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of Ms Carroll by jury trial in New York.
