Mexican football player Alan Pulido was rescued in Ciudad Victoria in the north-east border state of Tamaulipas, in the early hours of Monday, just 24 hours after being kidnapped as he left a party in Ciudad Victoria around midnight on Sunday.
Pulido appeared alongside Tamaulipas State Governor Egidio Torre Cantu after being rescued from the kidnappers. The Tamaulipas Governor told the media, "you can see that Alan is with us. We are currently going through all the procedures and later on we will disclose all the details. The main thing is that he is here, he is with us, this is what we really wanted to tell you."
Pulido, a striker for Olympiakos, was kidnapped by several masked gunmen that used a convoy of vans to block his vehicle after he left the party with his girlfriend on Saturday night. His girlfriend was released unharmed shortly later.
