A life-size bronze statue of Melania Trump has been stolen from Slovenia: All you need to know about it
Image credits: X/@OnlyMelaniaTR The First Lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump , is a personality of fascination for many as she rarely makes appearances at formal events and seldom speaks with the public at them. However, for Sevnica , a town in Slovenia, she is a woman to be revered. This is because the FLOTUS, who married Trump in 2005, was born on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now Slovenia, to parents Viktor and Amalija Knavs. The two-time first lady grew up in the small town of Sevnica, which is now famous for being her homeland and attracts tourists from across the globe. When a resident from a town makes it big in life and in the world, the most common way to pay homage to their hard work is through the erection of their statue. Thus, the people of Sevnica did the same when they erected a life-size bronze statue of Melania in the town in 2020. The statue was made to replace the wooden one that had been set on fire the same year. However, now, according to the local police, the statue of the First Lady has been stolen from the town. It has been chopped off at the ankles and removed, said the police in a statement. "The theft was reported on 13 May and immediately police officers visited the crime scene and launched an investigation," said Alenka Drenik Rangus, a police spokesperson on Thursday.

Interestingly, according to CNN, the artist was born in the same hospital and year as Melania's husband, Trump. The statue featured Melania in a blue dress and heels, akin to her inauguration outfit of 2017. However, in 2020, it was set on fire by someone. In the same year, a new bronze statue of the First Lady was created by American artist Brad Downey in a private field and was fixed with concrete and metal bars. It had been placed on the trunk of the tree on which the previous statue had been carved, with a plaque that read: "The eternal memory of a monument to Melania, which stood at this location." In a conversation with Agence France Presse, Downey shared his feelings on his work being stolen, saying he was "a bit sad that it's gone." "My feeling is that it has something to do with the new election [of Donald Trump], but who knows, right?" he added. Additionally, he called the statue "anti-monument, anti-propaganda" and said that "it didn't feel right" when the original version was burnt in 2020. According to many reports, Melania is fluent in her mother tongue, Slovenian, which she had also taught to her son, Barron Trump. However, the culprit of the theft is still being searched for by the police.

Mexico reviewing request from cartel leader jailed in US to be sent back
MEXICO CITY, Feb 22, (AP): Mexico's government is reviewing a petition by Ismael "El Mayo' Zambada, a longtime leader of the Sinaloa cartel who is jailed in the United States, to be returned to Mexico for trial, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday. The president confirmed Mexico's consulate in New York had received the request. Sheinbaum noted that Mexico's attorney general was already investigating the circumstances of how Zambada was arrested in the US with another Sinaloa cartel leader by authorities near El Paso, Texas in July. He is awaiting trial. "No one is defending this person,' Sheinbaum said. "Beyond the person and his crimes … the issue is how he was detained.' Zambada has maintained that he was kidnapped by Joaquín Guzmán López, one of the sons of former cartel leader Joaquín "El Chapo' Guzmán, and flown to the United States. The Mexican government shortly after said it was opening an investigation of possible treason against those involved in turning over a Mexican citizen to foreign agents. Guzmán López was also arrested by US authorities on arrival in Texas. In his request, Zambada argued that the legality of his entering the United States has not been verified and asked that he instead be tried in Mexico, according to a report in Mexico's Reforma newspaper Friday. He also asked the Mexican government to intervene so that the death penalty is not a possibility in his case, the report said. In January, US prosecutors said they were discussing a possible plea deal with Zambada. Zambada is one of the most notorious drug traffickers in the world and a leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel for decades alongside "El Chapo." He is known for running the cartel's smuggling operations while keeping a lower profile. Mexico could ask that the death penalty not be on the table for Zambada's case since there is no death penalty in Mexico, but normally the US only repatriates convicted criminals after they serve their sentences. An exception came in November 2020 during the first administration of President Donald Trump. Drug trafficking charges against Mexico's former Defense Secretary Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos were dropped after Mexico protested his arrest in Los Angeles. The US returned Cienfuegos to Mexico where he was promptly exonerated.
