Apology to Badri Gosavi

Yesterday, Business News published an article titled “Prominent Perth restaurateur accused of extortion”, which featured a photo of Giovanni Pezzano and Badri Gosavi prior to the formal opening of The Meatball Bar in Leederville in 2014.

Mr Pezzano is on trial in the Western Australian District Court charged with extortion and assault occasioning bodily harm over an incident in July last year.

Business News would like to emphasise that Mr Gosavi is not involved in any way with the legal allegations levelled at Mr Pezzano and unreservedly apologises to Mr Gosavi and any readers who may have misunderstood this, given the use of his image.
