GENEVA (AP) — A Swiss politician was convicted Wednesday for firing a sport pistol at an auction poster of a 14th-century painting of Madonna and child and then posting images of the damage online. Sanija Ameti, 33, an independent Zurich council member formerly of the Green-Liberal party, was given a suspended fine for “disturbing freedom of religion and worship,” the Zurich district court said in its ruling. She was handed a suspended fine totaling 3,000 Swiss francs (about $3,900), and a penalty of 500 francs.
