A wine company owned by US billionaire Bill Foley has been fined NZ$30,000 after a worker broke his arm at one of its New Zealand vineyards.

04/03/2014

Foley Family Wines Ltd, majority-owned by Foley, was sentenced yesterday after pleading guilty to failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of Te Kairanga vineyard worker Chris Kokiri, according to a report in the Marlborough Express.

Kokiri was winding bird netting off vines and feeding it onto a mechanical spindle on 23 April last year when a velcro tag on his jacket was caught and pulled his left arm into the spindle.
