Younes Djoudi has admitted to robbing a fashion designer, while Abdel El Habchi and Ali Eldahouzze have denied the charge. The case involves a high-profile theft in London, where a luxury watch worth £137,000 was stolen from entrepreneur Catalin Botezatu. During a court hearing, Djoudi reportedly told Eldahouzze he would be "set on fire" if he did not participate in the crime. The alleged robbery took place on January 28 when Botezatu was having dinner with his assistant and a friend at the Amazonico restaurant in Mayfair. As he was smoking a cigar on the terrace, his Richard Mille watch was cut from his wrist shortly before midnight. Eldahouzze, 22, and El Habchi, 30, are accused of being part of a plot to target Botezatu. Last week, El Habchi told Southwark Crown Court he had no prior knowledge of the plan to steal the watch. However, Eldahouzze claimed Djoudi threatened his life and ordered him to grab the watch, saying he was terrified and unsure of what Djoudi meant. Prosecutors allege that Eldahouzze helped Djoudi by pushing Botezatu and grabbing his arm. Eldahouzze denied any physical contact, stating he fled as soon as he saw Djoudi’s actions. He said he refused to follow Djoudi’s instructions and feared for his safety afterward. El Habchi, who is a social media influencer in Morocco, said he and Eldahouzze had been traveling to London when Eldahouzze received a call from Djoudi to meet in Mayfair. Prosecutor Arizuna Asante described how after leaving the restaurant, Botezatu was approached by three men who robbed him of his watch. It is believed a knife was used to cut the watch’s strap, as the victim had cuts on his wrists afterward. El Habchi told the court that Djoudi met them the next day with the stolen watch. Eldahouzze mentioned that Djoudi’s friends took his phone and sent messages and pictures, including one of the watch. Both El Habchi and Eldahouzze deny the charge of robbery. The trial is ongoing.
