The same individuals, due to some distraction or lack of expertise, left some data there that led us to this individual,\u201d the Sernic spokesman explained.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the only evidence Sernic has to support its accusation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also have information that these individuals have domiciles in South Africa, and travel between the two countries. It is these facts that constitute evidence of the involvement of this individual as well as his accomplice, his brother, in the commission of this crime. There are also warrants against another man for involvement in other kidnappings. We are working to neutralise them and hold them accountable for their actions,\u201d Lole added.<\/p>\n<p>The kidnapping took place on October 3 outside the Islamic Cultural Centre on Avenida Alberto Luthuli, near the capital\u2019s central business district, a security guard who witnessed the kidnapping said.<\/p>\n<p>Maputo and other Mozambican cities, mainly its provincial capitals, have since 2020 been subjected to a renewed wave of kidnappings, mainly targeting businesspeople or their family members.<\/p>\n<p>Mozambique registered 13 kidnappings last year, with 33 arrests linked to the crimes, according to the most recent data provided by Sernic.<\/p>\n<p>In an assessment of criminal activity in Mozambique presented in early June, Attorney General Beatriz Buchili acknowledged that kidnappings by criminal groups with cross-border affiliations, especially in South Africa, had been on the increase.<\/p>\n<p>Buchili said furthermore that kidnapping victims were, even after their release, \u201cconstantly blackmailed\u201d into paying sums of money to ensure that they were not kidnapped again.<\/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.
