In November 2024, a Fabergé egg and watch worth £2 million were stolen from a pub in Soho, London. The victim was Rosie Dawson, an executive at the Craft Irish Whiskey Company. Enzo Conticello, also known as Hakim Boudjenoune, was arrested in Belfast in January in connection with the theft. He appeared in court and admitted to theft and fraud, but did not enter a plea for concealing criminal property, including the egg and watch. The police are still searching for the stolen items, which are part of a limited collection created by the Craft Irish Whiskey Company in collaboration with Fabergé. Conticello is currently in custody and is scheduled to be sentenced in March.
