The ABD Board of Directors wishes to inform members of recent developments regarding former Director and member Antonio Franchitti.
Upon learning of his arrest on domestic assault charges, he was immediately suspended from all ABD duties, pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
On Friday, 14th February 2025, he was convicted and sentenced to 26 months. As a result, he has been permanently removed from all ABD duties and responsibilities, with all relevant organisations duly notified.
We are deeply shocked and saddened by these events and remain committed to upholding the integrity and values of ABD.
On behalf of the Board of Directors
