CNN —A deputy mayor in Helsinki is facing possible legal action after being caught spray-painting graffiti with a friend.
Paavo Arhinmäki, deputy mayor responsible for culture and leisure in the Finnish capital, issued a statement Saturday admitting that he and a friend had been caught by security guards after painting inside a train tunnel leading to the city’s Vuosaari harbor.
“Now there is still on-going police investigation for legal action and its consequences,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
“The costs of cleaning up are collected from the perpetrators after the police investigation is done,” they added.
Meanwhile, Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat published a photo of the graffiti and tweeted about the incident.
