Snipped from the end:

She was abducted from her bed in the ground floor apartment she was staying in, while her parents Kate and Gerry were eating in a nearby tapas restaurant, checking regularly on her and her younger twin siblings.

Are either of you aware of a case in which a company or its directors were prosecuted for fraud? I'm not but would be very interested to read about such a case
