“バンクシーの正体を特定”　手がかりは2000年の“逮捕歴”【スーパーJチャンネル】(2026年3月15日)

Reuters has reported that it has identified the identity of the British masked artist "Banksy." On the 13th, Reuters published a special report claiming to have identified the identity of the famous British masked artist "Banksy." Banksy's real name is Robin Gunningham, and he is a British man in his 50s. One of the clues was found in the investigation documents from September 2000, when he was arrested by the New York City Police Department for vandalizing an advertising billboard, before Banksy became famous. These documents reportedly included a handwritten statement. Banksy's lawyer neither confirmed nor denied the identity in response to Reuters, but argued that anonymity is beneficial and protects freedom of expression, and requested that the special report not be published.
