Julia Haart's ex husband facing criminal charges, jail over actions during brutal divorce

Key Points:

• Italian businessman Silvio Scaglia faces a 14-day jail sentence after a New York judge issued a no-bail bench warrant accusing him of illegally transferring shared assets during his divorce from Julia Haart.
• Court documents allege Scaglia moved ownership of Elite, the modeling agency they co-owned, without Haart’s permission and used company funds to purchase luxury items like Bentleys, Porsches, and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.
• Judge Jeffrey Pearlman found Scaglia in civil and criminal contempt for willfully violating court orders, including ignoring a previous order to pay Haart $300,000, and has demanded he face legal consequences.
• Haart was awarded full ownership of Elite World Group and their $57 million Tribeca apartment after the court determined Scaglia had already taken the value of his share through cash and assets.
• Scaglia, who appears to be residing in Italy, has not yet submitted to U.S. authorities, and his legal team has denied the allegations; neither he nor his representatives have commented on the situation.
