UK model agreed to kidnapping plot to boost career, court told

A Polish man accused of kidnapping British model Chloe Ayling in Italy has claimed she agreed to take part in a ransom plot to help boost her career.

Lukasz Herba, testifying in his own defence in court in Milan, said 20-year-old Ms Ayling did not know about the kidnapping plot when she arrived in Milan for a modelling job last July. Herba said that he revealed it to her soon after, and that she agreed to it.
