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.
