Surely the wta cannot shrug this off?

If you don't want to give Elmo clicks...

Camila Giorgi & her dad allegedly ran away from a villa where they were staying without paying 6 months rent and also took antique furniture worth close to 100,000 euros.

The owner of the villa says he wrote to Camila’s dad & told him to at least return the antique items.

Her father responded by saying that the items were ‘of little value.’

The owner went on to say: “I can’t know how much truth there is or how much Camila owes the state, but I know she owes us. Those objects are part of my mother’s and my life. I want them back.”

Seems to be their M.O. Get money and then don't pay.
Very odd. I gather she is not broke, so why this sort of dumb, petty theft?

That is wrong. It is not a trivial thing; this is not a parking ticket. He should attend and should testify. RG be damned.

I'd like the German police to come in and drag him off the clay at RG mid match and haul him into a jail cell if he's found guilty.

I just can't make out his calculations...if he is found guilty, he may end up in jail..and forego millions in prize money..why not quietly pay up the half million euro? What are the chances he will be found innocent? Given that the court has already ruled against him?

The court didn't rule against him. It was one judge. That was the way I read that news (somewhere in here).
And yes, if he is found guilty, let the law be applied in full force.
The sole reason why he is going this way must be that he truly feels he is not guilty. Otherwise, the calculations are as you say: paying the fine would have been much easier.
