Suspects in Kidnapping of Liverpool Player's Parents Sentenced to Prison

The National Liberation Army, involved in peace talks with the government, acknowledges the kidnapping as a mistake.

Andrés Alcires Bolívar and Marlon Rafael Brito, the two suspects in the kidnapping of Liverpool soccer player Luis Díaz's parents, have been ordered to prison by a Colombian judge.
Bolívar, a merchant in La Guajira, is accused of being the link to a person close to the Díaz family who provided information about the victims.
Brito is accused of assisting in the logistics of the kidnapping, including planning the deception under which Díaz's parents were abducted at a gas station.
Díaz's mother, Cilenis Marulanda, was rescued by police a few hours after the abduction, but his father was held captive for 12 days by the National Liberation Army (ELN).
The ELN, which was involved in peace negotiations with the Colombian government at the time of the kidnapping, has acknowledged the kidnapping and called it a mistake.
