ListenGENEVA — A Swiss politician was convicted Wednesday for firing a sport pistol at an auction poster of a 14th-century painting of Madonna and child and then posting images of the damage online. She was handed a suspended fine totaling 3,000 Swiss francs (about $3,900), and a penalty of 500 francs. Swiss public broadcaster RTS reported that she did not speak during the hearing. In September 2024, Ameti fired the sport pistol at an auction poster that showed details of the work “Madonna with Child and the Archangel Michael” by 14th-century Italian painter Tommaso del Mazza. Ameti afterward apologized, but the shootings and posting caused an uproar and she lost her job in public relations.
