Italian authorities identified the pilot of the boat featured in recent coverage. The information has been reported by the Daily Mail.
Investigators plan to question the pilot in the coming days to determine exactly what he observed on board. In addition, police will request photographers to share all images that have circulated globally so that a clearer account of events can be established.
The authorities indicate that on September 4, Kanye West and his new wife, Bianca Sensory, were prohibited from boating in Venice due to behavior deemed inappropriate. Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, the operator of the boat service, condemned the incident and stated they were “totally unaware” of what was happening on the vessel until the photographs became public.
Earlier this week, paparazzi captured the couple along the canals of Venice. Bianca Sensory wore a gray leather jacket, while Kanye West appeared in a black jacket and pants. At one moment, the rapper was photographed seated on the boat with his pants lowered and without underwear visible. Italian observers reacted with anger as images showing the exposed appearance circulated online.
Earlier online images involving Kanye West’s partner had also appeared online, drawing further attention to the situation.
