In Italy in the event of a kidnapping all the assets belonging to the kidnapped person and his/her family are immediately frozen by the law. As a consequence, paying the ransom effectively becomes a crime.
- desdiv 9y agoI stand corrected. Thank you for the correction.
- bgun 9y agoAre there statistics on before/after this law was implemented? It seems that kidnapping would become massively underreported as a result.
- blue1 9y agoKidnappings in Italy are now much rarer than they used to be (see: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonima_sarda> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonima_sarda>). I have no idea in what measure it depends on the asset-freezing law.
