Police have arrested a
Pakistani-Italian man on charges of kidnapping a 16-year-old
Pakistani girl and taking her to his country of origin for an
arranged marriage, police sources said Wednesday.
The Italian-born girl in November 2013 was abducted from
the town of Ariccia, near Rome.
She lived there with her Pakistani parents, who immediately
reported her missing.
The alleged kidnapper, a Pakistani who has acquired Italian
citizenship, lives in the town of Zagarolo, also near Rome.
He was arrested when he got off a plane at Rome's Fiumicino
airport.
A search of his luggage turned up the missing girl's ID
documents and a copy of her marriage certificate.
The girl's whereabouts remain unknown, police said.
