Rome, Italy (AHN) – An Italian police officer has been fired for ‘cross-dressing’ when not on duty.
The officer, identified as a deputy superintendent on an Italian police force, was sacked after he was seen, on several occasions, in the center of Venice wearing a mini-skirt, long earrings and a skimpy T-shirt aimed at showing off his navel, ANSA news agency reported on Friday.
The man appealed his dismissal in local court arguing that his off-duty apparel was his own business. But he was unable to regain his job and the court has rejected his appeal and upheld his dismissal. Police officials informed ANSA that his neighbors have complained that he sometimes washed his car in swimming trunks, which he sometimes removed.
