Two thugs have been arrested after performing sex acts on a statue of Virgin Mary before destroying the Christian icon on the French island of Corsica.
Fury erupted on Thursday morning when the statue - located under an archway in Porto-Vecchio - was found damaged and ripped out of its place. Two suspects have been arrested in connection to the incident, with French authorities still probing the exact sequence of events that took place on Wednesday night.
The mayor of Porto-Vecchio, Jean-Christophe Angelini, confirmed the men had been arrested after sharing videos of themselves committing the vandalism on social media.
Mr Angelini wrote: "Following these unspeakable events and the dissemination of several abject videos, made by the authors themselves, the city will file a complaint this morning. "Formally identified, these 'individuals' have been arrested and placed in custody.
"I, as mayor, in respect for everyone's prerogatives, wish for an extremely severe judicial response."The statue was installed in 2020 during the mayor's first term in office, quickly becoming a cherished landmark at the Stabiacciu roundabout.
