"Enzo Conticello, 29, took the Givenchy handbag belonging to Rosie Dawson as she stood outside the Dog and Duck pub in Soho on 7 November 2024. The Faberge items were in her handbag after she took them for display at a work event earlier that evening."
"Conticello was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to three charges of fraud by false representation and one count of theft at an earlier hearing. The court heard Conticello was after 'easy money' and that he had handed over the bag, which also contained a laptop and credit cards, to buy drugs."
"Prosecutor Julian Winship said there were only seven Faberge sets - containing a jewelled egg, watch, whisky bottle, cigars and humidor - in existence. Conticello's barrister, Katie Porter-Windley, said he previously worked as a chef but lost his job in the Covid pandemic and slipped into cocaine addiction."
Enzo Conticello, 29, was sentenced to over two years in prison for stealing a handbag containing a Faberge egg and watch set valued at 2.2 million. The theft occurred outside the Dog and Duck pub in Soho on November 7, 2024. Conticello, seeking 'easy money', used the stolen bank cards shortly after the crime. The items have not been recovered, and insurers paid 106,700 for the loss. Conticello's lawyer stated he was remorseful and unaware of the items' true value.
