A Bavarian Court sentenced two men to four and six years in clink, and gave two women suspended sentences of 18 and 21 months.
57-year-old James Amburn, an American, was apparently gagged and bound, bundled into a box and forcibly moved from his home in west Germany by car. During the journey and his subsequent four day incarceration, Amburn is said to have suffered two broken ribs after allegedly being hit with a chair leg. He also says that he was tortured with lighted cigarettes.
