A woman who admits fraudulently pawning former Premier League footballer Edgar Davids’s modern art collection is not sentenced after failing to appear in court. Reports say the case concerns an approximately £188,000 collection and involves a wealth manager who arranged for the items to be pawned.
According to RTE and Sky News, she tells the court she missed the sentencing because she was struck by luggage while traveling to the airport, leaving her unable to attend. Both outlets frame the reason as a physical mishap occurring en route to court.
Yahoo UK News similarly reports that the fraudster misses sentencing after claiming she was hit by luggage. The coverage is consistent on the outcome (sentencing does not proceed due to absence) and the stated explanation (being hit by luggage). The articles differ mainly in phrasing and in how they describe the location and impact of the alleged luggage incident, such as whether it affected her head.
