AN IRISHMAN who was questioned by Italian police in connection with a murder inquiry in Tuscany said last night he was the subject of an unfortunate mistake.

Paudge Behan, who lives for part of the year near the Tuscan village of Arcidosso, near Grosetto, was held by police for 17 hours over Saturday night in relation to the murder of 72-year-old Silvana Abate.

Seems he was arrested but now released.

Did any one else see the interview he did for Italian TV shown on RTE News last night? Bizarre interview as he was speaking in English but dropping in Italian words as in a "me a no a speako Iatliano" manner.

:D

He sounded like a total dick talking like that the other night. He obviously has a bit of Italian cause he was able to speak a bit but it was just insulting the way he was talking to the Italian reporters, imo.

Sounded to me like he wasn't able to speak any better. Bit harsh on him frank IMO

Showed this to Italian at work & asked if they Italian words & he replied " he is making it up".

He stopped short of saying "not guiltio" :p

News report said he was living in Italy for two years? :confused:
