4 kidnap trader for $400,000 ransom
Four men allegedly kidnapped and held up a trader for a $400,000 ransom after posing as security officers, a court heard.
The four, all Syrians including two brothers, with ages ranging between 25 and 40, threatened to kill the trader if his family reported the kidnap to the police. They threatened him with a knife they applied on his neck when he was made to talk to his wife. They faced charges of kidnap, illegal confinement, theft with the use of force, threat, impersonation as public officers and assault in the Court of First Instance.
The complainant, a 54-year-old Sudanese trader, told the prosecutor that the defendants intercepted him as he was walking to work one morning in September last year in Freej Al Murar in Muraqqabat. One of them claimed he was a security major and showed him an unclear card and asked him to step in to their car.
They took him to a flat in Ajman and told him that they wanted money or they would hurt him. When he tried to walk out of the door they beat him and tied him up. He lost consciousness and woke up later to find himself bleeding.
One of the defendants spoke to the trader’s wife on the phone and told her to pay $400,000 if she wanted her husband alive. A police captain said that they were informed about the kidnap incident by a Sudanese man.
