The serious crime of kidnappings continue, for what reason, is it extortion or human trafficking, or both. Is it the norm in that of their own country, and how many other countries do they practice this crime. What becomes of the kidnappers when arrested here, I don't recall reading any convictions.

So how is it that the woman was seen being dragged into the hotel by force, yet no action was taken by the hotel (like calling police)??

Were they paid off to keep their months shut? If so, shouldn't the hotel staff/security who witnessed the lady being taken in by force be arrested as accomplices? Or do they only like to pounce on foreigners? It's gotta be one or the other, right?
