Urban Posted October 5, 2006 Originally posted by Channel4.com/sport/football_italia: Milan star Ricardo Oliveira’s sister has been kidnapped in Brazil – the second case of this kind to strike the club after Kakha Kaladze. News agencies ANSA and ‘O Globo’ report that two masked men broke into the Sao Paolo house of Maria de Lourdes Silva de Oliveira, tied up her husband and eight-year-old son before leaving with the 35-year-old woman. No ransom request has yet been received, but according to local police, the main suspect is the couple’s 14-year-old son. He has been repeatedly sentenced to a correctional facility for links to drug trafficking and the husband pointed out he had already threatened her. This is the eighth kidnap in Brazil that has involved the family member of a famous football player. The others in recent months have been Michael Anderson Pereira da Silva, Robinho, Kleber, Rogerio, Luis Fabiano, Marinho and Grafite. All the kidnap victims were released. Ricardo Oliveira joined Milan from Betis Seville in the summer and scored on his Serie A debut against Lazio. This is the second time that a Rossoneri player has been forced to confront the kidnap of a close relative. Kakha Kaladze’s younger brother was abducted in Georgia on May 23 2001. 21-year-old Levan’s body was found in February. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
