Restaurateur Faces Fraud Charge in Penticton, Civil Suit over B.C. Winery
Stagewest Winery alleges Giulio Miceli diverted $200,000 and breached management duties, seeking $500,000 in damages while he countersues for $320,000 in unpaid compensation.
- On Aug. 13, Penticton Provincial Court saw Giulio Miceli, co-owner of La Terraza in Vancouver, face a fraud charge over $5,000 with an offence date of April 1, 2021.
- Stagewest Winery Limited Partnership alleges Miceli breached their 2021 management agreement for Play Estate Winery, overpaying himself and engaging in multiple breaches, including improper invoicing and fund diversion.
- SWLP seeks a $500,000 judgment after alleging $200,000 was diverted and overpayment; Miceli counters he is owed about $320,000, including over $230,000 in debts.
- Giulio Miceli is due back in court on Sept. 3 for a counsel consultation, with no trial date yet set, and allegations remain unproven in court.
- Since then, Penticton city council gave unanimous approval for the project at Riordan House, and hedges were cleared but little work is visible.
