There was news on Tuesday that two people were arrested in Barcelona’s El Prat Airport, on a warrant issued by the authorities in France, shortly before they were due to board a plane for the UK. They were wanted for kidnapping, extortion and bodily harm in connection with three British nationals who were held captive for two days in Albi, in southern France.
Europa Press reports that the suspects met their three victims at the beginning of April and held them prisoner and physically assaulted them until the group gave up the PIN numbers for their credit cards. The kidnappers then used the money to flee to Spain and had been hiding out in a hostel in L’Estartit, Girona province, until they were arrested by the National Police.
It’s understood that they are to be brought before the National Court for extradition.
