A deputy mayor in Helsinki is facing possible legal action after being caught spray-painting graffiti with a friend
Paavo Arhinmäki, deputy mayor responsible for culture and leisure in the Finnish capital, issued a statement Saturday admitting that he and a friend had been caught by security guards after painting inside a train tunnel leading to the city’s Vuosaari harbor. In the post, Arhinmäki apologized for “this stupid foolishness of mine.
It cost the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency €3,500 to clean the graffiti from a concrete slab inside the tunnel, a spokesperson for the agency told CNN over email. “Now there is still on-going police investigation for legal action and its consequences,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The costs of cleaning up are collected from the perpetrators after the police investigation is done,” they added.
