They fired a few shots in the air as a way to convince the victim to surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The police say that they are working to track down the kidnappers and rescue the victim. The main people targeted by the wave of kidnappings in Mozambican cities have been businesspeople of Asian origin.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the high number of kidnappings, President, Filipe Nyusi, recently announced the creation of an anti-kidnapping unit to stop these crimes.<\/p>\n<p>During her annual report on the State of Justice, delivered to the Mozambican parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, in April, Attorney-General Beatriz Buchili denounced police complicity in kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>She said that some of those who should be on the front line combatting the kidnappers are in league with them. \u201cThe involvement of some members of the police, lawyers, magistrates and other figures in the judiciary creates fragilities in investigating these cases\u201d, said Buchili, \u201cand endangers the safety of those public servants who are committed to fighting against crime\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, two policemen and an agent of the National Criminal Investigation Service (Sernic) were arrested and charged with involvement in the kidnapping of businessman Bharat Kumar in Maputo on 12 February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
