Someone in London could unknowingly be in possession of an extremely rare Fabergé egg and a matching watch worth up to £2.2 million ($3 million) after the items were stolen and quickly traded for drugs. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the items have not been recovered after the man who stole them traded for drugs shortly after snatching it from a Soho pub.
Enzo Conticello, 29, of no fixed address, was sentenced to two years and three months at Southwark Crown Court on 9 April after pleading guilty to theft and three counts of fraud by false representation, The National reported. Also known as Hakin Boudjenoune, the accused will serve roughly half of his 27-month sentence in custody before being released on licence.
