A court in Argentina has convicted 10 people for the kidnapping and sexual exploitation of Marita Veron, who has been missing since 2002, BBC reports.
The court in north-western Tucuman province overturned a 2012 ruling which had acquitted all 13 defendants in the case of human trafficking.
Veron’s mother, Susana Trimarco, had appealed against the ruling, which had triggered protests in Argentina.
The court upheld the acquittal of two defendants. Another died in February.
The tribunal in Tucuman said that four of the defendants had conspired to “hold and conceal [Ms Veron] for the exercise of prostitution”.
Six more had “participated” in her abduction and forced prostitution, the judges said.
