A 30-year-old woman has been arrested on the Spanish island of Tenerife for allegedly faking her own kidnapping four times to extort her mother.
The woman allegedly sent her mother a video earlier this week that showed her blindfolded and smeared with blood. In the clip shared by the Civil Guard, a man is also seen behind her with a knife.
“Mommy. They’ve kidnapped me,” the woman sobs.
“You can’t say anything to the police. If you do, they’ll kill me.”
She goes on to say how her captors beat her and deprived her of food. According to a statement by the Civil Guard, she told her mother the kidnappers would release her for 50,000 euros ($50,000).
This was not the first time the woman’s mother received such a disturbing demand. Investigators later found out that the mother previously made three payments totaling $45,000, also in response to threats on her daughter’s life.
According to the Times of London, police discovered the ruse after looking into the daughter’s partner, whose family was also involved in the kidnapping plot.
Within 24 hours of the initial investigation, authorities discovered that the daughter was unharmed and free to leave.
On Sept. 5, police confirmed the arrest of the daughter and four co-conspirators at a slot-machine casino.
Civil Guard officers reportedly found the fake blood and knife used in the video on the group.
All five face charges of extortion, among other offenses. An update in the Tenerife Weekly said three of the five had since been released.
If convicted, the group faces at least one to five years in prison.

4 times.
A man doing this would be in jail the first time.
Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy 27:16 “Cursed is anyone who dishonors their father or mother.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
Not the smartest thing she could do.
“I hope the Mom can sue the daughter for emotional distress.”
To get what out of it? The only money the daughter probably has is what she was extorting from the mother, and she apparently blew all of that already if she was pulling another hoax.
Disgusting..execute her, for my part.
I think she got away with it the first 3 times.
“4 times.
A man doing this would be in jail the first time.”
No crime was reported the first three times. It pays to read the article.
when did the depriving of food kick in?
Four times?
Sounds like the daughter was a lot smarter than the Mom.
