fashion line, raising questions about <BR>whether such activities are compatible with his sentence.<BR>Marco Ahmetovic, a 22-year-old member of the Roma or <BR>gypsy minority, has hired an agent to market a range of <BR>perfumes, watches, jeans and sunglasses.<BR>He was sentenced to 6-1/2 years detention but, in a <BR>controversial ruling, can spend most of that time UNDER <BR>HOUSE ARREST in return for cooperating [?????]<BR>with the court.<BR>So far no retail outlet has taken up the brand and it <BR>is only available on the auction site Ebay, with his watches <BR>priced at 159 euros each.<BR>Ahmetovic, who killed the four teenage boys in April <BR>after driving his van onto a pavement while under the <BR>influence of alcohol, said he did not intend<BR>to profit from "the shameful things that I have done".<BR>Each product is stamped with the brand label, "LineaRom", <BR>and his agent Alesso Sundas has produced promotional photos <BR>of Ahmetovic's face with the caption
"Don't be like me!".<BR>With politicians urging an inquiry, Justice Minister <BR>Clemente Mastella said he would investigate whether "such <BR>lucrative activity" was compatible with Ahmetovic's sentence.<BR>But Ahmetovic's agent was unrepentant.<BR>"I'll hire out Ahmetovic for club appearances at 3,000 <BR>euros a night. Why do I do this? Because I took a gamble <BR>-- to make a star of a person who has committed a crime. <BR>I'm not ashamed. It's my job," he told newspaper Corriere<BR>della Sera.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>extropy-chat mailing list<BR>extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org<BR>http://lists.extropy.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/extropy-chat<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><p>
