German pensioner gang guilty of holding financial adviser hostage Anonymous 03/23/10(Tue)18:21 No.426198  

>Retired couples held James Amburn in makeshift prison and tried to force him to refund £2.25m in lost investments.

Four German pensioners aged between 61 and 80 were found guilty today of taking their financial adviser hostage and holding him in a purpose-built prison in Bavaria after their share investments failed.

A court in Traunstein, Bavaria, found that two retired couples kidnapped James Amburn and tried to force him to refund €2.5m (£2.25m) in lost investments.

In June last year they took him from his home in western Germany and drove him 280 miles to the village of Chieming on the Austrian border, where he spent four days in a makeshift jail.
