Abu Sayyaf men sued for kidnapping 2 Germans

From ABS-CBN (Nov 6): Abu Sayyaf men sued for kidnapping 2 Germans

Charges of kidnapping for ransom and serious illegal detention have been filed against several Abu Sayyaf members for the abduction of two German nationals earlier this year.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) filed the charges before the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Among those charged was the group's spokesperson Abu Rami, who claimed they were paid a huge ransom for the release of Stefan Okonek and Henrike Dielen last October 17.

Also charged were Mundi Sawadjaan, Mudjappar Sawadjaan, Yusof Jalmaan, Roger Saji, and several John Does.

PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group director Sr. Supt. Roberto Fajardo said Okonek and Dielen identified their abductors.

The two German nationals were captured by Abu Sayyaf bandits from a yacht in Palawan in April this year.

Manhunt operations are ongoing for the bandits who are believed to be still holding at least 10 hostages.
