R v Grillo and Grillo was the trial of two sisters, at Isleworth Crown Court in London, England.

The defendants, former personal assistants to Nigella Lawson and her ex-husband Charles Saatchi, were accused of using their credit cards, specifically without special authorisation, on the account of Saatchi's private company between January 2008 and December 2012.[2]

In 2013, the sisters plead not guilty to the charges.[3] The jury found them not guilty.
