On the fourth and final day of Flavio Becca's appeal trial, both prosecution and defence argued their cases for why the initial sentence should be either upheld or overturned.

In March 2021, a court issued a suspended two-year prison sentence and a fine of €250,000 to Flavio Becca for misusing company funds, as well as for money laundering.

On the fourth day of trial, Mrs Lorang, one of Becca's lawyers, argued that her client will suffer severe consequences if he is convicted of appropriating company funds. It will mean that he can no longer request credits, which will restrict his business activities.

The prosecution is holding on to the verdict from the initial trial, demanding that Becca be sentenced for abusing social goods. They dropped the point of money laundering, but still want all of the concerned watches to be seized.

In 2011, authorities confiscated 842 watches from the businessman. Becca purchased most of them with company funds, arguing they were business investments. However, prosecutor Grasso noted that the watches cannot be seen as investments given that they were no longer in their original boxes and lacked the respective bills.

The verdict in the appeal trial is scheduled to be announced on 6 July.
