Fingió secuestro para “tener paz de su esposa” y exigir dinero a su familia

The Police Directorate of Investigations, through the National Anti-Kidnapping Unit, reported the arrest and referral to the Public Prosecutor's Office of a 42-year-old engineer who faked his own kidnapping in the capital, demanding a ransom of 40,000 lempiras under the pretext of seeking some peace and quiet away from his wife. Spokespeople for the Ministry of Security lamented the diversion of human talent and logistical resources to investigating false reports, noting seven similar cases so far this year, motivated by financial gain, debt, or family conflicts. Meanwhile, mental health specialists explained that these behaviors reflect low frustration tolerance, manipulative dynamics, and permissive environments, clarifying that committing these crimes is not necessarily linked to a mental disorder. Finally, authorities emphasized that the Honduran Penal Code classifies this conduct as the crime of falsely reporting a crime, which carries a sentence of one to two years in prison. They urged citizens to continue formally reporting any suspicions about a real incident. #Honduras #DPI #NationalPolice Find more programs on #TVCPLAY by visiting https://www.televicentro.com/tvcplay Copyright © 2026 Televicentro
