Emiliano Revilla
Emiliano Revilla is a Spanish industrialist who was kidnapped by the Basque separatist group ETA in 1988. He was captured on February 25, 1988, and freed on October 30, 1988. From 1960 to 1974 Revilla was the mayor of Ólvega. The ''Houston Chronicle'' reported that Revilla was freed by his captors after a payment of $12 million. They reported that his family had been able to pay his captors, even though the government had announced they would not allow any payments to the kidnappers. According to the ''New York Times'' the release of Revilla within sight of his apartment was very embarrassing for Spanish law enforcement officials and for the Spanish government. Revilla had inherited his wealth, in the form of a food company, which he expanded. He had also branched into real estate. During his eight months of captivity Revilla was provided paper, paints, brushes and pencils, for drawing and painting—activities he hadn't pursued since childhood. In 2008 the ...

Kidnappings In Spain
In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful confinement of a person against their will, often including transportation/asportation. The asportation and abduction element is typically but not necessarily conducted by means of force or fear: the perpetrator may use a weapon to force the victim into a vehicle, but it is still kidnapping if the victim is enticed to enter the vehicle willingly (e.g. in the belief that it is a taxicab). Kidnapping may be done to demand for ransom in exchange for releasing the victim, or for other illegal purposes. Kidnapping can be accompanied by bodily injury which elevates the crime to aggravated kidnapping. Kidnapping of a child is known as child abduction, which is a separate legal category. Motivations Kidnapping of children is usually done by one parent or others. The kidnapping of adults is often for ransom or to force someone to withdraw money from an ATM, but may also be for sexual assault. Children have also been kidnapped for the commi ...
