Agreed. What he actually didn't know was that there was a 15k euro fine and a five-year prison sentence.
Well, now a lot more people are aware of the serious consequences of defacing iconic cultural heritage, thanks to that idiot. So there's a silver lining at least.
Honestly, I think he should just get the fine and maybe some community service. It's not like he did some terrible evil thing, he simply caused a tiny amount of damage to huge ancient structure.
Why should he lose 5 years of his life over something simple like this? Just give him a big fine that makes him regret it, and he won't do it again.
I would give him 2 year probation/suspended sentence if it is his first crime. Does not need to ruin his life but make the warning hella clear.
If he vandalizes things regullarly, then probably some actual prison time.
