The man was rescued from militant captivity thanks to the intervention of the UN and the Catholic Church
Luis Manuel Diazfather of the Liverpool midfielder Luis Diazfreed from militant captivity.
The man was held by representatives of the Colombian group National Liberation Army (ELN). Negotiations between the authorities were unsuccessful. Diaz was released thanks to the intervention of representatives of the UN and the local Catholic Church. The UN is the official mediator in negotiations between the Colombian government and the ELN, which kidnapped the footballer’s father.
Let us remind you that a group of armed men kidnapped Diaz’s father and mother at the end of October. While escaping from the chase, the criminals punctured the car’s tire and were forced to leave the player’s mother behind. On motorcycles, the militants took the man into the jungle, where it was difficult for the police to identify them, and they were held there.
Luis Diaz missed one Liverpool match due to news about his parents. Subsequently, the midfielder brought the Reds a draw in stoppage time in the match with Luton (1:1), dedicating his goal to his father.
