Film-ready kidnapping: Lawyer plans millions in Vienna!

A spectacular process is currently developing in the Vienna Regional Court, where a 44-year-old lawyer, has already been crowned and accused the attempted kidnapping. According to krone.at , the accused, together with two cousins, plans the kidnapping of a wealthy real estate agent to blackmail by 1.5 million euros. However, this criminal project was prevented by the cousins that have reported it to the authorities.
