A senior solicitor who was obsessed with the Nazis and kept a replica samurai sword at the office has been hit with a £220,000 court bill after being sued over misusing more than £100,000 of company money.
Judge Simon Monty KC found proved the allegation that Mr Pisano had taken '£95,000 from company assets, both before and after his resignation as a director, and has refused to return the money' and that he had 'expended further sums on a variety of expensive electronic and other goods for his own use, of no benefit to the company'.
Giving evidence to the court, Mr Hasan said his former work partner had 'exhibited increasingly erratic and bizarre behaviour, including assaults upon staff and upon me, verbal and written tirades against me and staff members' in the time leading up to his resignation. He went on to uphold a specific allegation that Mr Pisano flew into a rage with a male intern at the firm on a placement from Surrey University.
Mr Pisano had made multiple references to the Nazis, leading the judge to conclude that 'it is clear to me that Mr Pisano has a fixation about Nazi Germany'.
