It's the true-crime case that's gripped TV viewers: the story of a British model who was lured to a fake photo shoot in Milan before being kidnapped and held captive for a week.
Michal Herba was jailed along with his brother Lukasz after the pair kidnapped Ms Ayling for a sex trafficking gang and tried to sell her as a slave for £250,000.
Ms Ayling, who was just 20 at the time, only managed to escape after convincing Lukasz that she would be his girlfriend if he let her go.
Their claims were discredited and Michal was sentenced to 16 years in an Italian prison – serving five. Lukasz was also sentenced to 16 years – cut to 12 on appeal.
However, the Polish brothers' accusations have sparked years of speculation over whether the case was 'fake' – which is now the subject of BBC drama Kidnapped.
