Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone’s mother-in-law has reportedly been kidnapped in Brazil and held for a ransom demand of roughly $36.5 million, according to Brazilian magazine Veja.

According to the report, Aparecida Schunck, the mother of Eccelstone’s third wife Fabiana Flosi, was kidnapped in the Interlagos neighborhood of Sao Paulo on Friday.

The kidnappers are reportedly demanding a ransom amount of 120 million Brazilian reals, which is roughly equal to 36.5 million dollars, which is claimed to be the highest ransom amount for a kidnapping in Brazil’s history.

Back in 2012, a dental technician was found guilty of threatening to kidnap Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter and was sentenced to five years in prison.

The Forumla 1 boss’s net worth is in the billions of dollars.

The mother-in-law of F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, who was kidnapped in Brazil, has been freed without any ransom paid, say police.
Aparecida Schunck, 67, the mother of Mr Ecclestone's wife Fabiana Flosi, was abducted from her Sao Paulo home 10 days ago.
A ransom of $36.5m (£28m) was demanded, but none was paid, according to Elisabete Sato of the Sao Paulo police.
Ms Sato told the BBC there was a major police operation to free the victim.
Two suspects were arrested and the victim was not injured.
Ms Schunck was freed after being traced to a farmhouse near Sao Paulo after investigators monitored phone calls between kidnappers and her family, police say.
The BBC understands that Mr Ecclestone had wanted to come to Brazil to help in the investigation and had even offered the services of a private security company to deal with the kidnappers.
But Brazilian police told him that his presence in Brazil might be counterproductive and advised him and his wife to remain in the UK.
