Overview

• The 17-year-old from Vittoria was seized Thursday and reappeared about a day later at the police station accompanied by a friend who had alerted officers.
• Prosecutor Francesco Puleio said there was no ransom demand, the youth is in good condition, and investigators report he said he was not hooded or mistreated.
• ANSA, citing the family's lawyer, reported the kidnappers kept their faces covered and spoke with a Vittoria accent, a point not confirmed by prosecutors.
• Surveillance cameras recorded two Fiat Panda tied to the operation, and investigators say a four-person group in two cars carried out the abduction.
• Investigators are exploring intimidation linked to the family's produce business and possible drug-related involvement, with the release location undisclosed and no asset freeze reported.
