Why did the pensioners kidnap their financial advisor?
In Germany, if you think your financial advisor has been giving you bad advice and messing up your investments, you can complain to the regulators, or you can go to the police. But in Bavaria, one group of pensioners stands accused of employing a much more direct method of registering their dissatisfaction. They’re on trial for kidnapping their financial advisor and holding him hostage. Four senior citizens, aged between 63 and 79, had invested nearly three and a half million dollars in the US property market and lost it all in the sub-prime mortgage meltdown. (7) They’d concluded that the man who’d handled the investment should now reimburse them. According to the prosecutors, last summer the pensioner posse plus one accomplice abducted the financial advisor outside his house, tied him, gagged him, put him in a box and transported him in the boot of a car.
450 kilometres to a lakeside retreat. He claims to have spent four days locked in the cellar there and to have been tortured. After agreeing to their demands, the prisoner was allowed to send a fax to Switzerland arranging payment. (8) He concealed the phrase "call the Police" in the text and the alarm was raised. Soon after a crack team of commandos came to the rescue. On the opening day of the trial, the 74-year-old alleged ringleader of the gang avoided using the word "kidnap". He said he and his co-defendants had only wanted to treat their guest to a couple of days holiday in Bavaria.
