London, 22 December 2015:
Maltese kidnap victim, Pierre Baldacchino, has been found and safely freed by Rada (Special Deterrent Force).
Baldacchino, . . .[restrict]Manager of Saint James clinic in the Ben Ashour area of Tripoli was kidnapped last week whilst in his car on the motorway. His kidnappers had demanded a Euro 5 million ransom.
Rada said that they had staked out a hideout in the Ain Zara outskirts of Tripoli and had stormed the location at 1.30 am today.
They had found Baldacchino and arrested two suspects. The other members of the gang were being pursued.
Speaking on a video posted by Rada on their Facebook page, Baldacchino said that he had been blindfolded and his hands tied for the duration of his ordeal.
An emotional Baldacchino, holding back the tears said: ‘’It was a very bad week. I was thinking of a lot of things, including not seeing my kids’’. [/restrict]
