Imagine that you are the mother in law waiting on that cheap old bar steward Ecclestone to cough up the cash. Talk about a hopeless situation.

I wonder if Bernie will be at the race this weekend. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if he were there.

The mother in law is only 68. Probably a bit to young for Bernie!
#441010
He's 86? and his wife is 38?
Maybe he should have married the mother
then, maybe he's put up the ransom, no? :irked:

Show me a rich man and I show you a gold digger :rolleyes:


Did you send that memo to Ecclestone? :P

"Brazilian law enforcement agents stormed a hideout near Sao Paulo on Sunday and freed the kidnapped mother-in-law of Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone, police said.

Aparecida Schunk was found safe and police arrested two men.

Sao Paulo’s Anti-Kidnap squad “freed the mother-in-law of Bernie Ecclestone,” police said in a one-paragraph statement. “She was unharmed. Two men were arrested at the hideout near the city of Cotia. The operation continues.”

Sao Paulo police did not comment further on the operation or the kidnapping. But local news reports said they were searching for other members of the gang.

The 67-year old Schunk was kidnapped on July 22 and her captors asked for 120 million reais ($36.5 million), according to reports in a leading Brazilian news magazine.

Schunk is the mother of Fabiana Flosi, a 38-year old marketing executive who met Ecclestone at the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix."

According to the report, Ecclestone offered to come to Brazil and help the investigation with the services of a private security company. However, Brazilian police felt his presence would be counterproductive. :hehe:
