There was like 9 kidnapping since 2024, all „entrepreneurs“, CEO or millionnaire „influencer“
I may be mistaken but no regular people were kidnapped (like you and me)
All those articles make it sound like regular people are kidnapped everywhere..
Also, we don’t have guns here so it’s relatively „safe“ to attack someone „famous“
