Spanish woman 'kidnaps' son four times for ransom
14 October 2006
MADRID: A Spanish woman staged fake kidnappings of her son four times and got his father to pay her more than a million euros ($US 1.25 million) in ransom money, newspaper El Mundo has reported.
Police in the southern Spanish city of Seville arrested the woman and five accomplices, including the 15-year-old son who co-operated in the deception by calling his father on the telephone and begging him to pay up.
The father paid ransoms after the first three fake abductions without realising the involvement of his son's mother, from whom he had separated. He became suspicious the fourth time and hired a private detective, El Mundo reported.
