Mimoun Hantriz, Jamal Rhilane and Antonio Cortés sent to prison for a total of 35 years

Three men have been sent to prison for a total of 35 years for the kidnapping of 12 year old child, Iván, from Torre Pacheco, who was held by them for two days in June 2006. The two Moroccans and a Spaniard, named as Mimoun Hantriz, Jamal Rhilane and Antonio Cortés, were also ordered by the Provincial Court in Murcia to return the 50,000 € ransom money they collected from the child’s father, a local constructor in Torre Pacheco.Another six people accused in the case were found not guilty by the chamber presided by Judge, José Manuel Nicolás.The total of 35 years for the three found guilty is less than demanded by the prosecutor in the case, as the judge considered that the child had not suffered any abuse when with the kdinappers.
