Colombia’s Conservative Party has received criticism for using the image of soccer star Radamel Falcao without permission, reported local media on Wednesday.
The image of the Colombian striker was displayed in a political propaganda billboard in the new national team’s jersey, until it got removed only a few hours after first being put up.
“I want to clarify that I am neither part of a political party nor do I support any particular one. The use of this picture happened without my permission,” reacted Falcao, also known as “El Tigre”, via Twitter.
A representative of the Colombian soccer federation told local radio station RCN that they are considering pressing legal charges against the Conservative Party for copyright infringement.
