Mirror online reports, Pinault, 46, the boss of retail empire PPR which owns Gucci shops, was held for an hour by 50 staff members after a meeting in Paris until freed by riot police.

Pinault, who married Hayek, 42, six weeks ago, was the fifth "boss-napping" victim in a month. The union said: "We wanted talks to save jobs."
