In Rome police report Italy saw a record 63 kidnappings in 1977 with Pietro Fiocci seized in Lecco and other cases abroad. The wave, linked to Italy's Kidnapping Inc., prompts protective measures for elites in several countries including Switzerland France and the Netherlands.
Amnesty International said a Durban death in police custody shows signs of beating prior to suicide by hanging. It called for the autopsy report and a full investigation into Dr Hoosen Hatfejee's death on August 3. He was among two detentions who died in South Africa's custody in 20 months.
The motive behind Hanns-Martin Schleyer's kidnapping was political with New Army Faction terrorists seeking 11 prisoners release and $478,000 in ransom. Since 1955 Italy saw kidnappings rise, with many paid ransoms and several deaths. By this year over 200 kidnappings have occurred, funding and tactics spreading from Sicily to the mainland, aided by Swiss money transfers and lax controls.
