Italian couple's bid to delay R10.7million SA theft trial fails

Luca Reggio and Michela Moroni are expected in the Bellville Commercial Crimes Court on July 24

An Italian couple who allegedly helped themselves to R10.7 million from a stationery company have lost their bid to obtain more details about the case against them.

Luca Reggio and Michela Moroni worked for the company in SA when the alleged theft took place.

They lost the case in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said the couple faced nine charges between them.
