Reports: Amchit Child Kidnap Ringleader Arrested
Police arrested on Friday the Lebanese ringleader of a gang which kidnapped a six-year-old child in the Jbeil district town of Amchit last week, reports said.
The man, S.Aa., was apprehended by the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Branch in the town of Dora near Beirut, which lies around 40 kilometers away from Amchit, they said.
Ricardo Jaara was reunited with his family on Monday two days after he was abducted from his home.
Reports have said that the family paid a $50,000 ransom in return for his release.
His father reportedly handed the money to a man riding a motorcycle in the northern border area of Wadi Khaled.
LBCI later reported that the Intelligence Bureau was able to regain the ransom after searching two houses in Wadi Khaled.
