The case of the Maradona statue and its restitution to the artist
The mayor expressed his opinion on the matter of the return by the Common di Napoli of sculpture di Maradona made by the artist Dominic Sepe and donated to the administration on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Argentine champion's death.
Mayor Manfredi: “Today the situation is not clear”
“The Municipality will take this statue when everything is clear. Today the situation is not clear, we have had communications and material from the Prosecutor's Office and therefore we necessarily have to maintain caution and we have to wait for the judiciary to take its course.
When everything is clear then we will decide."
“It's a very delicate subject - he added - and regardless of the artist's positions, who I don't know how well he knows all the background to the story, there is a judicial investigation, there are requests for indictment, there is a complex situation regardless of the statue and Maradona".
