Mexican Politician Released in Mexico - NYTimes.com: "Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, a prominent Mexican politician and former presidential candidate who was kidnapped in May, has been released, daily El Universal reported on Saturday.
The newspaper, quoting members of the politician's family, said Fernandez, who belongs to President Felipe Calderon's ruling party, was released on Friday night.
According to the daily, the family paid a ransom of around $20 million. 'Everything is fine, he is OK and everything came out well,' the family was quoted as saying." Nov. 27, 2010
