Milan court convicts
Lukasz Herba of kidnapping British model and demanding ransom
An Italian court has convicted a man of kidnapping a British model for ransom and sentenced him to 16 years and nine months in prison.
Prosecutors in the case of Lukasz Herba said
Chloe Ayling was drugged and kidnapped when she arrived at a Milan address for a modelling job, then held for six days at a farmhouse in the neighbouring region of Piedmont before being released at the British consulate in Milan.
Herba, 30, from Poland, had claimed Ayling agreed to the scheme to bolster her career.
