Five men charged with kidnapping migrants in US to demand families pay ransom for their release.

The men have pleaded not guilty after they were arraigned on an indictment, the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles says.

A fifth man has been charged in the case but remains a fugitive, prosecutors say.

The defendants took the four migrants from an Arizona gas station last year and later held them hostage at a house in California .
