Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent webinar: Kidnapping in Latin America: How to Handle the Crisis.
In this latest webinar, we were joined by Carlos Seoane, Director General, Seoane Consulting Group. During the presentation, Carlos discussed the stages of a kidnapping, different types of crime, motives and crisis management first steps. He explained that for many decades kidnapping was mostly targeted in Latin America. Over the last 8-10 years however, cases have also started to become more random as well. Wrong place wrong time.
Carlos shared with us the stages a kidnapping goes through:
- Selection Planning
- Capture
- Transfer to security house
- Captivity
- Negotiation
- Agreement
- Ransom deliver/pickup
- Transfer/Victim release
For these types of crimes to be resolved successfully, they need to be handled through proper crisis management process.
When kidnapping affects corporate environment there are 3 scenarios to consider:
- Kidnapping and ransom not as a result of the job
- Kidnapping and ransom as a result of the job
- Kidnapping and ransom asking for ransom to the company
