Police Reportedly Investigating Kanye West and His Wife for 'Indecent' Boat Behavior
Kanye West and his wife are currently under police scrutiny for their recent controversial boat ride in Venice, Italy. In photos and videos that circulated last month, Kanye was seen in a compromising position, with his wife Bianca Censori. The Daily Mail reports that Venice authorities are now considering taking action in response to this public display.
The boat's driver, who was present during the incident, is set to be interviewed to provide an account of what transpired. Additionally, law enforcement has requested photographers to surrender any images they may have captured.

A source from the Venice police stated, “There are standards of public decorum that have to be followed by tourists and locals alike and any breaches are severely punished. The images of West with his trousers down while in a taxi as he and his partner crossed the lagoon were seen all over the globe. “You could clearly see his trousers were half down and we have received complaints from people who witnessed it. Now we have identified the driver of the boat and we will be asking him what he saw as well.”
The boat company involved, Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, which recently issued a lifetime ban to Kanye West and Censori, expressed they were entirely unaware of the incident. They assured that had the driver been aware, the couple would have been promptly removed.
A source with ties to the city's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, emphasized, “By chance the monthly meeting on public security is imminent and this sort of behaviour will be discussed.
“Venice is famous for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world and we expect tourists to maintain a respectable level of decency when visiting. “These public acts of spectacle are not what we or the millions of tourists who come here each year wish to see and we take a very dim view of it.
“We can only hope that the prosecutor imposes a fine and then the couple will think long and hard about their behaviour if they return to Venice in the future.”
