Schiffer case chef arrested

Claudia Schiffer owns a home in Suffolk

A catering worker is due to appear in court in Suffolk accused of stalking the supermodel, Claudia Schiffer.

Agostino Pomata, a chef from Bury St Edmunds who comes from Italy, is accused of harassing the model at her nearby home.

An arrest warrant was issued for Mr Pomata after he failed to appear at the town's magistrates' court on Tuesday morning.

The 33-year-old is accused of visiting the home of the German supermodel, who is pregnant, on three occasions between 4 and 11 November.

Ms Schiffer, who is married to film producer Matthew Vaughan, owns Coldham Hall at Lawshall in Suffolk.

Ms Schiffer, 31, is not thought to have been at the house at the time of Mr Pomata's alleged visits.
