An investigating magistrate and prosecutor ordered the owner of Pizza Fan to be remanded in custody after hearing his defence in a case involving alleged tax evasion and the activities of a criminal organisation.
The owner's associate, considered the criminal group's deputy leader, was ordered by the judicial official and prosecutor to remain under house arrest with an “ankle tag”.
Six defendants were released subject to conditions, with bail of up to €6,000 imposed in some cases.
The remaining five defendants, from the group of 13 brought to court today, are continuing to give their statements, and their depositions are expected to conclude in the early hours.
