(ANSA) - Venice, August 27 - There is "crushing proof"
against a 25-year-old Senegalese man accused of raping a
15-year-old Italian girl on a beach at the resort of Jesolo near
Venice last week, police said after quizzing the man Monday.
The Senegalese, Mohamed Gueye, is known in the criminal
underworld as Mario because of his physical resemblance to Nice
and Italy striker Mario Balotelli, police said.
He was said to be violent, aggressive, and very strong.
The girl was on holiday at Jesolo when she was raped on
Thursday.
