Welcome to Venezuela, the kidnap capital of the world
http://www.news.com.au/world/south-america/welcome-to-venezuela-the-kidnap-capital-of-the-world/story-fnh81jzo-1226758654049FIVE people are kidnapped and held to ransom here every day and it has a murder rate on par with war zones.
Welcome to Venezuela - a country which has the highest kidnapping rate in the world and where law and order are failing so badly that even the criminal gangs are scared.
To say the South American nation is undergoing a kidnapping epidemic is an understatement.
In fact the situation is so bad that the Venezuelan police force has an elite Anti-Kidnap Squad.
another legacy of chavismo.
