Security crisis
Police: Woman and Child from footballer in Ecuador kidnapped
Ecuador is in a security crisis. The violence is now also noticed by the family of a football professional.
In Ecuador, unknown people have entered Jackson Rodríguez’s apartment, according to the police, and have kidnapped the woman and the five -year -old child of football professionals. The defender of the first division club Emelec was at home during the incident and hid under a bed, as reported, among other things, the AP news agency and the Ecuavisa television station, citing the police.
The kidnappers had initially hit the door of the house in the port city of Guayaquil on Wednesday night and then gained access. You would have asked Rodríguez ‘wife about him – she replied that he was not at home. The 26-year-old athlete still saw the kidnappers who drove away with his relatives. It is unclear whether you make demands for release.
Called state of 2024
Ecuador is in a security crisis: mighty drug gangs spread in the South American country. Large quantities of cocaine are smuggled over the Pacific ports – especially Guayaquil – also to Europe. President Daniel Noboa declared the state of emergency in early 2024 and sent the armed forces to the fight against the gangs.
