According to the seizure order, the prosecutors allege that Mr Vedovotto sold shares in Safilo several months after joining French luxury group Kering but before it was announced that Kering had decided to create its own eyewear division and end a key licensing agreent between Safilo and its subsidiary Gucci.
Mr Vedovotto, now chief executive of Kering Eyewear, did not immediately respond to an ailed request for comment. A spokeswoman at Kering Eyewear declined to comment.
Last year Safilo’s shares fell 30 per cent after Kering announced on 2 Septber that it had decided to create its own in-house eyewear division and would end the Gucci licensing agreent with Safilo in 2016.
