Police overseeing the search for Luis Diaz’s father say Colombian authorities have “identified” the suspects who kidnapped Luis Diaz’s parents.
General Alejandro Zapata also said the possibility of crossing the border into neighboring Venezuela had not yet been ruled out, as Colombian police continued their search for Luis Manuel Diaz, who was arrested with his wife, Silenis Marulanda, on Saturday night. According to several sources in Colombia, the van in which the family was traveling was shot by four gunmen on motorcycles at a gas station. From there, an “Operation Lockdown” was launched to return the couple to safety and Ms Marulanda was eventually found in the Carretalito area after the road to La Guajira was closed to prevent the four kidnappers from escaping.
General William Salamanca, the Colombian police chief overseeing the rescue mission, confirmed information about his father in a phone call with Diaz on Sunday, and his right-hand man, General Zapata, broke the news to Semana on Monday. .”We suspect there are people involved in the incident,” General Zapata said. “When these types of events happen, they usually don’t happen by themselves. There’s pre-planning, people bringing people to a place – preparing them for other people to come – that’s what we’re looking at.”What we do know is that the kidnapping took place in the town of La Guajira, which is logically close to the border. We cannot determine that a line has been crossed. We can’t say for sure, but we can’t rule it out either.
Most likely they were looking for an opportunity to get out of there. “We have made progress in our investigation and this information is being reviewed by Gaula, intelligence and forensic police officers.”Liverpool learned of the abduction on Saturday night and rested Diaz for the afternoon during their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield, with the winger staying at home awaiting an update from his country on the situation.The shocking incident sparked public outcry for the 26-year-old and his family, with team-mates Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, club captain Virgil van Dijk, FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Linda Pizziti expressing public support. . Chairman of FSG and wife of Liverpool owner John W Henry. “I heard the news last night,” Jurgen Klopp said after Sunday’s win at Anfield. “Then I spoke to Lucho and he wanted to go home. I had people with him and people taking care of him.“Also, her family is there. So they want to be together. This is completely understandable.
Then I heard news about his mother and it was very good news.”I haven’t heard anything since. They are trying, but there is still a long way to go. We are not the first to receive information, but we try to learn as much as we can about everything, but we do not want to be distracted in any way. We are not important people there. We just want to be supportive, that’s all.”A reward of around £40,000 has been offered for information leading to Mr Diaz’s abduction.
