Mexican police have reported that Olympiakos forward Alan Pulido has been found and is safe about 24 hours after his kidnapping.
Footballer Alan Pulido was abducted near Ciudad Victoria in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas as he and his girlfriend were leaving a party in the early hours of Sunday morning. It was reported that several trucks encircled their car in a car park and that six masked and armed men took the striker by force while his girlfriend was left unharmed.
Kidnappers apparently contacted Pulido’s family demanding ransom according to some reports.
The authorities have reported that the 25-year-old footballer was liberated by the police and taken to a hospital and that he is 100 percent healthy. At the time of arrest, one of the kidnappers was reported to have injuries caused by the intervention.
Pulido has played for the Greek team of Olympiakos since last July and had previously played with Mexico’s squad at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Pulido just finished this season with Olympiakos with 6 goals in 15 games.
