Story summary

Silvio Scaglia, an Italian businessman and former husband of Julia Haart, is facing criminal charges and jail time over alleged actions during their contentious divorce proceedings that ended in 2022. The judge found Scaglia guilty of civil and criminal contempt for knowingly violating court orders by transferring assets from Elite World Group, a prestigious modeling agency they co-owned, without Haart's consent. As a result, the court ordered Scaglia to be jailed for 14 days with no bail. Julia Haart was awarded full ownership of Elite World Group and their shared $57 million Tribeca apartment after it was determined that Scaglia had illegally transferred the value of his share to himself in the form of cash, luxury cars, and other assets.
