SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Sep. 5 (EUROPE PRESS) –

The Civil Guard, within the framework of the ‘Santero’ operation, has arrested five people from the same family in Tenerife for extorting money from a woman by simulating the kidnapping of her daughter, counting on the latter’s participation.

Thus, after receiving a video in which the young woman appeared gagged and with a knife around her neck, the victim withdraws from a bank the amount of 50,000 euros to pay for the release of her daughter.

In the video, the daughter and author of the extortion appears with fake blood stains on her face, demanding payment in cash, which had to be delivered to a specific place determined by the alleged kidnappers.

At the same time, the investigators discovered that the victim had already been deceived on at least three previous occasions, in which she had delivered the total amount of 45,000 euros, after receiving three letters with threats against her daughter’s life.

For various reasons, the investigators focused their investigations on the environment closest to the allegedly kidnapped young woman, determining the involvement of the family of her sentimental partner in the events.

Once the information was analyzed, the kidnapping protocol was activated, with specialists from the Central Operations Unit.

A special intervention module of the GRS-8 was also activated, which remained on alert in case its intervention was necessary for the release of the hostage, the Civil Guard details in a note.

When the agents discovered that the young woman was in perfect condition and was not deprived of her liberty, five people were arrested for the criminal offenses of simulation of crime and extortion.

At the time of the arrest, the protagonist of the video and her partner’s family were in a game room.

EXPRESS RESOLUTION

The agents solved the case in less than 24 hours and in the house search the Civil Guard found the tools used for the simulation of the kidnapping, a large white weapon, the handkerchief with which the young woman was gagged and a bottle of artificial blood .

The operation, under the direction of the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 2 of those of Granadilla de Abona, and coordinated by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Provincial Court of Tenerife, has been carried out by the Crimes Against Persons Team and the Territorial Team of Judicial Police of the Americas, both belonging to the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police, different units of the Civil Guard Company of Playa de Las Américas, the Kidnapping Group and the Operational Technical Support Group of the Central Operational Unit and a Special Intervention Module of the GRS-8.
