Kidnap Ransom & Extortion

The incidence of terrorism and transnational crime has increased dramatically in the past decade. No longer entirely political in purpose, some terrorists are primarily concerned with financial gain.

This new phenomenon not only broadens the base of incident probability in respect of kidnapping and extortion, but it creates unique needs for coverage that had previously been unavailable or prohibitively costly. Kidnap and extortion are not just economic crimes. The costs to businesses, large or small, are substantial. The impact on the employees and their families who are directly victimized can be even more severe.
