The family of Luis Diaz has asked the National Liberation Army of Colombia (ELN) to provide evidence that the Liverpool footballer’s father is alive, a British newspaper reported on Wednesday. Sun.
Luis Alfonso Diaz, the Reds striker’s cousin, told Colombian state radio that the family needed to see Manuel Diaz, 58, “to have peace of mind.”
Gabi, the brother of the abducted man, admitted that he was concerned about the developments. “Most of all we would like to know the situation of our brother, our father, our son, because my father is here and wants to see his son,” he emphasized.
Let us recall that on Friday the ELN announced the release of Manuel Diaz in the coming hours, but the rebels postponed the implementation of the plan until Sunday due to the militarization of the area. The army hinted at “overflights and troop landings” to prevent the “quick and safe release” of the ex-Porto player’s father, in a statement quoted by the newspaper El Colombiano.
On October 28, two motorcyclists stopped near a gas station and kidnapped the parents of Luis Diaz under threat. Colombian police rescued the footballer’s mother Silenis Marulanda in the city of Barrancas.
