Monaco royals: ‘No regrets’ on banning businessman over brawl

Monaco’s first family has no regrets about banning businessman Adam Hock from the principality after he punched Prince Albert’s nephew Pierre Casiraghi in the 2012 “Battle Royale” at a New York club.

Page Six yesterday revealed that Hock was ordered out of Monaco in May and threatened with arrest.

Casiraghi’s lawyer Edward Kratt said, “Mr. Hock was the sole aggressor…The fact that Mr. Hock pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and agreed to complete 12 weeks of anger management and 10 days of community service is evidence of aggression…Monaco officials were rightfully dubious” that anger management would “deter further aggression.”

An assault charge against Hock was dismissed.
