Football Star, Carlos Tevez's Kidnapped Father Has Been Released After Ransom Was Paid In Argentina

Father of Juventus forward, Carlos Tevez was kidnapped on Tuesday according to Fox News, but was released eight hours later and appeared to be physically unharmed. Lawyer, Gustavo Galasso said the forward's father was ''in good shape'' as he announced the news about Segundo Tevez to reporters in
Argentina. He asked television stations not to transmit live from the home of the player's family outside the Argentine capital. Police did not immediately provide information about the incident. According to multiple reports, Tevez was set free after a payment of €40,000. Galasso did not confirm this.

In Italy, Juventus said that it gave Tevez permission to travel for ''family reasons,'' but reports in Italy said he was not going back to Argentina following the release. Local reports said Tevez's father was kidnapped by unknown assailants around sunrise but offered few other details.
