NEW YORK, Jan 25 (Reuters) - New York prosecutors have 
dropped charges that Lapo Elkann, grandson of late Fiat 
patriarch Gianni Agnelli, falsely reported that he had been 
kidnapped in November in an effort to get ransom money, the 
prosecutors' office said on Wednesday. 
    The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said it had 
declined to prosecute the case but provided no further details.
