New York: The daughter of former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani was arrested on Wednesday on a misdemeanour shoplifting charge at a beauty supplies store after she was seen on security video pocketing makeup, police said.
Caroline Giuliani, a 20-year-old Harvard University student, was seen taking five items worth more than 100 US Dollars at a Sephora store in Manhattan, a New York police department spokesperson said.
Store managers, after calling police, said they didn't want to press charges against her, the spokesperson said. But police arrested her on a petty larceny charge, he said.
Giuliani exited a police precinct on Wednesday evening and quickly got into a vehicle along with a man and a woman.
She did not respond to reporters' questions.
Her father, through a spokeswoman, said the case was a personal matter and asked the media to respect her privacy.
The Manhattan district attorney's office had not decided whether to file formal charges against her, an office spokeswoman said.
Caroline Giuliani is the younger of the former New York mayor's two children with ex-wife Donna Hanover, a television reporter and actress.
She is believed to be estranged from her prosecutor-turned-politician father.
In 2007, when Rudy Giuliani was seeking the Republican nomination for president, Caroline Giuliani listed herself as a member of Barack Obama's Facebook group supporting his candidacy.
But she left the group after an online magazine sent her an inquiry about it, and she didn't comment on the presidential race.
Rudy Giuliani lost to US Senator John McCain, who lost to Obama.
