Tourists go nude swimming in Venice canal, got themselves arrested for the obscene act

This might sound weird yet hilarious but this is one serious tourist issue in the beautiful Italian city of Venice. Despite several laws banning tourists from doing a list of things in the region, two Czech tourists decided to go for a swim in Venice canal and that too completely naked. The two were later arrested and fined an estimated $3,320 (INR 2,36,374) for their obscene act.
As per news, the two tourists were in the city for a soccer game. After the game they decided to take a swim and were caught in the canal in proximity to the famous Piazza San Marco at night. The police were patrolling like everyday as it is one of the most visited regions of the Italian city. It was then the locals on the shore informed them that a two naked men were doing weird things to seek attention of people nearby.

Both Czech tourists were in quite happy mood when they were found by the policemen. When asked about the reason behind their obscene act, the duo told officers that because it’s too warm they decided to go for a swim. However, soon they came out of the water without creating any scene. After putting their clothes on, they went with the police to the station. The Italian authorities have fined them under legislation covering acts against public decency.
The incident is just another addition to the tourists causing issues in the pretty Venice. The city is already suffering from some major overtourism problem. Just a few days back, a video went viral where in a gondolier was being headbutted and punched by a tourist. The reason for his behaviour was that he was asked to leave the gondola by the gondolier for taking selfies.

Despite several several rules and hefty fines, the problems only seem to increase day by day.
