The model was reportedly sent by her UK agent from Paris to Milan for the photo shoot on July 11.

But when she arrived at a studio near Milan Central Railway station, she was injected with Ketamine – a drug which can cause muscles paralysis – in her arm.

The model’s abductor is alleged to be British-Polish man Lukasz Herba, 30. Her identity has not been released.

He is alleged to have then tied her up and transported her in van to Turin, where he chained her up inside a villa, La Stampa reported.

He is accused of initially demanding around £270,000 in bitcoin payment to free her – a fee negotiated down to £50,000 after discussions with her agent.

The harrowing ordeal worsened when he told her he would kill her if she reported him to police, Italian media reported.
It

was claimed she was only freed because she was a mother with a young child.

The kidnapper said to the model, according to Corriere della Sera, “you have a two-year-old child and our rules exclude mothers”.

Police caught the man as he was taking the model to the British Consulate in the Italian city.

During their investigation, police seized his telephone, photos of the model being offered for sale and his computer which reportedly had encrypted information related to material examined by Europol in a 2016 investigation of the “deep web”.
