Man accused of robbing £137,000 diamond-encrusted watch in London says ringleader threatened to ‘set me on fire’

Two men, Ali Eldahouzze and Abdel El Habchi, are accused of participating in a robbery where a £137,000 diamond-encrusted Richard Mille watch was stolen from entrepreneur Catalin Botezatu in London. According to Eldahouzze, the ringleader, Younes Djoudi, threatened him with violence, including setting him on fire, if he did not take part in the crime. Both defendants have pleaded not guilty, while Djoudi has admitted guilt. The prosecution claims Eldahouzze physically assisted in the theft, but he denies this, stating he fled upon realizing what was happening. The incident occurred during a night out at a restaurant in Mayfair, and the stolen watch was later recovered by Djoudi, who allegedly shared images of it with his associates.
