Couple in Milan are ‘fined £360 for kissing in the street’ because ‘removing their masks breaches coronavirus restrictions’

A couple in Milan were fined £360 for kissing in the street as removing their masks breached coronavirus restrictions, local reports have claimed.

After kissing in public on their way to a restaurant, the engaged couple found themselves surrounded by four officers, according to their own account of the incident. 

The couple, comprised of a 40-year-old Italian man and a Polish woman who only knew her native language and English, had been engaged for two-and-a-half years.

Despite showing the officers evidence of this on a smartphone – such as photos, videos and messages – the couple claimed they continued to be questioned.
