Mother-in-law of Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone 'kidnapped in Brazil'

The mother-in-law of Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is reportedly kidnapped in Brazil, with criminals demanding a ransom of $36.5m (£28m).

The mother-in-law of Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has reportedly been kidnapped in Brazil.

The criminals are believed to be demanding a ransom of $36.5m (£28m) in exchange for Aparecida Schunck's release.

The 67-year-old, who is the mother of Ecclestone's wife Fabiana Flosi, was snatched in Sao Paulo on Friday evening, according to Veja and Globo.

It has been claimed that the kidnappers have demanded that the sum be paid in cash and split into four bags.

Ecclestone, 85, who is worth an estimated £2.4 billion, married 38-year-old Flosi in 2012 after divorcing his wife of 25 years Slavica Radic.
