Kidnap, ransom & extortion

When your company conducts business overseas you are prepared for language barriers, exotic customs and diverse negotiating styles. What you cannot predict, however, is political upheaval and the increased danger of abduction and extortion.

Kidnapping is big business. There are an estimated 8000 kidnappings worldwide with annual global takings of $500m. With a 100% increase in kidnapping over the last six years it is becoming a fact of life in many of the world’s most dangerous territories.
