A thief has been sentenced to two years in prison after stealing a Givenchy handbag containing a Fabergé egg and watch worth almost $3 million. Enzo Conticello, 29, stole the bag, belonging to Rosie Dawson, as she stood outside the Dog and Duck pub in Soho, London, U.K., in November 2024. Prosecutor Julian Winship said that there were only seven emerald-encrusted sets like the one stolen in the world. It has not been found despite his handing over the bag, saying he gave the egg away, unaware of its value. Also known as Hakin Boudjenoune, the Metropolitan Police said he was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday, having pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud by false representation and one of theft. He was linked to the crime after using her card to buy a drink and cigarettes nearby. Dawson had the egg set in her bag after it had been on display at an event that evening. Her employer, Craft Irish Whiskey Company, received an insurance payout worth $143,000. Conticello’s barrister, Katie Porter-Windley, said: “On the night in question, it was a moment of opportunity which he took, and he is genuinely remorseful for his behavior.”
