The parents of Colombian footballer Luis Diaz, who plays for Liverpool, were tragically kidnapped. Colombian authorities have reported that while Diaz\u2019s mother, Cilenis Marulanda, was successfully rescued from the kidnappers in Barrancas, his father remains missing.<\/p>\n
Colombian President Gustavo Petro confirmed the situation, stating that the search for Diaz\u2019s father is ongoing. The attorney general\u2019s office in Colombia has mobilized a specialized team comprising prosecutors, police, and military personnel to locate the missing individuals, gather facts, and apprehend those responsible for the kidnapping.<\/p>\n
According to media sources, Luis Manuel Diaz and Cilenis Marulanda were abducted by armed individuals on motorcycles while at a service station. General William Salamanca, the director of Colombian police, has deployed intelligence agents and officers to handle the case.<\/p>\n
Liverpool released a statement acknowledging the distressing situation involving Luis Diaz\u2019s family in Colombia. They expressed their fervent hope for a safe resolution and affirmed that the player\u2019s well-being remains their utmost priority.<\/p>\n
Luis Diaz, who has represented Colombia 43 times, made a move to Liverpool from Porto last year. Due to the kidnapping of his parents, he was not included in the squad for Sunday\u2019s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Manager Juergen Klopp addressed the situation, expressing concern for Diaz and describing it as an unprecedented and distressing experience for the team. As of now, Diaz himself has not made any public statements regarding the incident.
