Kidnap and Ransom Insurance for Individuals and Families
There are 25,000 to 30,000 kidnapping incidents reported annually worldwide. And every year this number continues to rise, with criminals bringing in billions in ransom payments. Majority of incidents are perpetrated for financial gain and criminals now prefer a quicker payoff to a highly elaborated kidnapping.
