  High-profile businessman Adrian Portelli has denied charges of conducting an unlawful lottery and his lawyer has asked that the matter progress 'quickly' to
  trial.
  
  Portelli, 35, is charged with nine counts of conducting or assisting
  in the conduct of an unlawful lottery in South Australia, while his business
  Xclusive Tech Pty Ltd, which trades under the name LMCT+, is charged with 10 counts of the same offence.
  
  
  He was not required to appear In Adelaide Magistrates
  Court on Wednesday, where lawyer Ben Lodge entered not guilty pleas on behalf of Portelli and Xclusive Tech.
  
  
  The charges, instigated by South Australia's Consumer and Business Services, allege Portelli's business
  did not hold a licence to conduct the lotteries in SA
  
  There had not been any negotiations with the prosecution on the charges,
  Mr Lodge told Magistrate Luke Davis.
  
  'We have had our discussions with our clients …
  and the matter is contested. We are keen to progress the matter to trial
  as quickly as we can,' he said.
  
  'We ask that these matters be listed for a pre-trial conference
  and our preference is that be listed today.'
  
  Mr Davis adjourned the matters for a pre-trial conference on March 6.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Businessman Adrian Portelli has denied charges of conducting an unlawful lottery in South Australia 
  
  Portelli's company offers members subscriptions to a 'rewards
  club', which includes entries to win cars and properties.
  
  
  Under SA law, any trade promotion lotteries with prizes exceeding
  $5000 need a licence to operate and entries must be free of charge.
  
  
  'The major prize for the lottery was a property situated
  in Gisborne in the state of Victoria, as seen on the Australian television show The Block, or
  a cash prize of $3,000,000,' court documents state.
  
  Winning the prize 'involved an element of chance' but the
  defendant 'did not hold a licence to conduct the lottery in South Australia'.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Portelli and his company face a potential maximum penalty of $190,
  000. 
  
  Portelli and his company face a potential maximum penalty
  of $190,000.
  
  He has said on social media that if he were convicted, he would 'round it up to $200,000'.
  
  
  In a social media post in December after the
  charges were laid, Portelli promoted a membership-based giveaway for South Australians.
  
  
  'It's okay SA we still love you. Your gambling commissioner won't
  allow you to win major life changing prizes so I've decided to run exclusive, DAILY $1000 cash giveaways to you guys instead,' he wrote.
  
  
  
  Melbourne-based Portelli gained fame as 'the Lambo Guy'
  in 2022, after arriving at a house auction for The Block in a yellow Lamborghini.
  
  
  
  In last year's series of the reality show, he spent $15.03 million to acquire all five homes on offer.

  By Anuradha Nagaraj and Roli Srivastava
  
  CHENNAI/MUMBAI, India, July 30 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - F ive months into her pregnancy, Soniya was still carrying heavy sacks up steps
  at the rice mill in south India where she was forced to work to pay
  off a family debt. By the time she was rescued,
  her baby had died.
  
  Soniya spent four years in debt bondage, the most prevalent form of
  slavery in India, to pay off a family loan of 50,
  000 Indian rupees ($725).
  
  Like many women in her situation, she had no access to health care.
  Her rescuers said she appeared malnourished, frail and on the point of collapse,
  had her hands wrapped around her stomach and refused to speak.
  
  
  "Health checks are not mandated after a rescue, but the lost expression in her eyes suggested that something was amiss," said Megraj Kasim, the local officer in charge
  of rescue and rehabilitation of bonded workers.
  
  
  "We rushed her to a hospital, but it was too late," he
  told the Thomson Reuters Foundation from Vellore district in the southern state
  of Tamil Nadu.
  
  A series of rescues this year have highlighted the plight of
  the hundreds of pregnant and lactating women working
  in brick kilns, rice mills and on farms across
  India, often to pay off debts they did not incur.
  
  "The women are silenced into submission by threats, which is why their trauma is often unheard," said Helen Barnabas, a counsellor with the International Justice
  Mission, an anti-trafficking charity.
  
  "In almost every rescue, there is at least one pregnant woman or one nursing a newborn, who have been denied medical access, forced to work and gone through trauma that they are rarely able to articulate. The cruelty is unimaginable."
  
  India's labour ministry did not respond to emails or calls from the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the issue.
  
  
  'HEARTBREAKING' STORIES
  
  India identified more than 135,000 bonded workers in its 2011 census
  despite banning the practice in 1976.
  
  It says more than 300,000 people have been pulled out of slavery since 1976 and has committed to rescue and rehabilitate more than 10
  million bonded labourers by 2030.
  
  Kasim said the testimonies of women who had lost their children were the
  toughest to record, but gave the "true picture of the extent of exploitation".
  
  
  
  "The women don't speak easily and we work very hard on gaining their trust,"
  he said.
  
  "But when they trust you enough to speak, their accounts are heartbreaking. Even the toughest officials are moved by their suffering, especially if they lose a child."
  
  Kasim has now mandated health checks in all rescues in his region, a move the Tamil Nadu government is
  looking to enforce across the state in the future.
  
  Barnabas said women from tribal areas were often told to treat themselves
  like their grandmothers did using traditional herbs, depriving them of access to modern medicine,"
  
  "But the tragedy is that when they lose their child, they often don't blame the mill owners but themselves and say
  they have angered their gods and goddesses," she said.
  
  "It takes them years to understand that it was not their fault."
  
  BORN INTO BONDAGE
  
  Ashtama Devi, 35, spent the last trimester of her pregnancy in the searing heat of a brick kiln in the northern state of Haryana.
  
  She went back to work within 15 days of her delivery, leaving her baby boy in the care of her seven-year-old son in their tin roofed hut next to the brick kiln.
  
  When they were rescued six months later, the child had blisters all over his body that Devi attributed to the intense heat he was exposed to from birth.
  
  "I baked bricks and worked 14 hours every day (during my pregnancy)," said Devi by phone from Delhi after she was rescued last month.
  
  "My employer would beat up my husband when he asked for permission to take me to the doctor."
  
  She recalled how during her two earlier pregnancies, health workers in her home village ensured she had nutritional supplements and she also received 1,400 rupees cash from the government when she delivered.
  
  In bondage, she had no such care and gave birth to an underweight baby.
  
  "My baby weighed 2 kg (4.4 lb) when he was born. He is really weak," she said.
  
  Devi, who was lured into bondage with an advance payment of 15,000 rupees and the promise of a better life, was among 80 people rescued last month, 32 of whom were children.
  
  Nirmal Gorana, convener of the National Campaign Committee for Eradication of Bonded Labour - a network of campaigners - said Devi's baby was severely malnourished when he was rescued and his condition is still critical.
  
  "The children when we reached the site were all visibly weak, had skin diseases and none of them had
  any clothes on. They were living in the searing heat next to brick kiln under a tin roof shed," Gorana said.
  
  Manki Devi, who was among those rescued from Haryana, gave birth earlier this month to a baby that died within an hour.
  
  For Soniya, who still believes she is pregnant and is undergoing counselling, the days ahead will be tough, Barnabas said.
  
  "We find that they go through long spells of depression before they really understand what happened," she said.
  
  "And then the sadness will be replaced by rage."

  Researchers have found the first evidence of live dogs being traded in the Americas - and they were exchanged over distances of more than 100 miles (160km).
  
  
  The Maya were trading live dogs in 400BC from Ceibal in Guatemala,
  which is one of the earliest ceremonial sites from the Mesoamerican civilisation, researchers found.
  
  
  The bones were largely found in the ceremonial centre meaning the animals were probably owned by someone important or could have
  even been a prestigious gift.
  
  These traded dogs - which were probably slightly
  bigger than chihuahuas - were older than dogs for eating and were
  thought to be treated better too.
  
  They would have been used for 'showing off'
  by elites as something exotic and would have
  been used in animal and human sacrifices, scientists say.

  The Maya were trading live dogs in 400BC from Ceibal in Guatemala,
  which is one of the earliest ceremonial sites from the Mesoamerican civilisation, researchers found.
  Researchers used isotope analysis on bones (pictured) from Maya sites to understand where animals lived and what they ate
  
  Researchers found that animal trade and management began in the Preclassic Period some 2,500 years ago.
  
  
  
  Most of the bones and teeth they tested were from the
  Maya Middle Preclassic period (700-350 BC) and from 400 BC it seems some of these animals
  were exchanged.
  
  Previously the earliest evidence of live trading dogs was found in the Caribbean in around 1000AD. 
  
  'I definitely think dogs were moving before 400 BC, although
  dog trade probably didn't happen until after people became sedentary and had
  set settlements to trade between',  Ashley Sharpe,
  an archaeologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama who
  led the research told MailOnline. 
  
  'In Asia, Africa and Europe, animal management went hand-in-hand
  with the development of cities,' she said.

  However, in the Americas people may have raised animals for ceremonial purposes.   
  
  Researchers believe the dogs had short legs and smaller heads than most medium-sized breeds today.
  
  
  'Most of the dogs were likely eaten and seem to have died at less than a year
  old, because their bones are not always fused as they would be as adults', she said.
  
  
  'The traded dogs might have been treated better, or at least were fully grown.'
  
  Researchers made the discovery by looking at carbon, nitrogen,
  oxygen and strontium isotopes.
  
  Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and
  electrons but different numbers of neutrons. This means they have different physical properties.
  
  
  For example, carbon has two stable isotopes: carbon 12 with six protons
  and six neutrons and carbon 13 with six protons and
  seven neutrons.
  
  
  
  
  Researchers analysed animal remains in Ceibal,
  Guatemala (pictured), a Maya site with one of the longest histories of
  continuous occupation and one of the earliest ceremonial sites
  
  
  
  
  
  Most of the bones and teeth they tested were from the Maya Middle Preclassic period (700-350 BC).
  Dog bones were found at the lowest levels of two pits (pictured),
  each within a pyramid at the Ceibal, Guatemala site
  
  Carbon in animals' bodies comes from the plant tissues they consume directly or indirectly.
  
  
  Most plants use the most common type of photosynthesis to turn carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
  This process leaves mostly the lighter carbon isotope, carbon 12, behind,
  bound up in carbohydrate molecules.
  
  Corn, sugar cane and other grasses use another type of photosynthesis that concentrates heavier, carbon 13 molecules.
  
  
  By looking at these isotopes, researchers could work out what they
  ate. 
  
  The animals fell into two categories - those with lower carbon isotopes were mainly eating wild plants while those with higher isotopes were
  probably eating corn. 
  
  
  
  
  Because people in the region often killed animals that
  came into gardens and areas where crops were being cultivated, it is possible that peccaries and turkeys may also have
  been eating crop plants. Researchers found the bones in the Ceibal site
  
  All of the dogs, two northern turkeys, Meleagris gallopavo, the turkey
  species that was eventually domesticated, and one of two large cats were probably eating
  corn, which suggests they were domesticated.  
  
  Because people in the region often killed animals that
  came into gardens and areas where crops were being cultivated, it is possible that peccaries and turkeys also
  ate crop plants.
  
  However, it is likely that turkeys were managed by the end of the Classic
  Period.
  
  Deer bones showed butcher marks but they were hunted from
  the forest not domesticated, according to isotope analysis of bones.
  
  
  One large cat and a smaller cat, probably a margay, Leopardus wiedii,
  had lower carbon isotopes indicating that they ate
  animals that fed on wild plants.
  
  The ratio of two strontium isotopes reflects the local geology
  in a region. 
  
  Forty-four of the 46 animals had strontium isotope ratios matching Ceibal and
  the surrounding southern lowlands region.
  
  
  
  
  Dogs were associated with the deity Xolotl, the god of death.
  The roundness of this body (pictured) might
  suggest its value as food for the posthumous soul
  
  
  
  
  
  Pictured is a Postclassic Maya vessel or incense burner in the form of a dog. Deer bones showed butcher marks but
  they were hunted from the forest not domesticated, according to isotope analysis of bones that also had lower carbon isotopes
  
  However, to Dr Sharpe's surprise, jaw bones from two dogs excavated from deep pits at
  the heart of the ancient ceremonial complex had strontium isotope ratios matching
  drier, mountainous regions near present-day Guatemala City.
  
  
  
  'This is the first evidence from the Americas of dogs being moved around the landscape,' Dr Sharpe said.
  
  
  'The non-local dogs were found in pyramids at the centre of
  the site, so they may have belonged to someone important who came from far away,
  or were gifts', Dr Sharpe said.
  
  'We have no clear evidence they were sacrificed, but perhaps they were valued as
  "shown off" purposes by the early elites as something exotic and special.'
  
  Part of the jaw bone and teeth of a big cat was found with one of the
  dogs in the same deposit.
  
  'The interesting thing is that this big cat was local, but
  possibly not wild,' Dr Sharpe said.
  
  'Based on its tooth enamel, it had been eating a diet similar to that of the dogs since it was
  very young.'
  
  Researchers have not yet worked out if it was a jaguar or a puma.
  It was captured and raised in captivity, and
  may have lived near villages and eaten animals that were feeding
  on corn.
  
  'It's interesting to consider whether humans may have had
  a greater impact managing and manipulating animal species in ancient Mesoamerica
  than has been believed,' Dr Sharpe said.
  
  'Studies like this one are beginning to show that animals played a key
  role in ceremonies and demonstrations of power, which perhaps drove animal-rearing and trade.'
