Police in Colombia’s coffee region have arrested a commander of a nearby anti-kidnapping and extortion unit on kidnapping charges, local media reported Wednesday.
The sub-commander of the anti kidnapping and extortion unit of the Antioquia police department, based in Medellin, was arrested in the city of Pereira after being caught red-handed while trying to kidnap a local businessman.
The victim was able to call the authorities while in the back of a van after which his alleged kidnappers were taken into custody.
Nevertheless, a local judge ordered the immediate release of the official as according to him the authorities had failed to surrender enough evidence of the policeman’s involvement in the kidnapping, reported newspaper El Tiempo.
