Man jailed over echuca hostage attack (11 April 2016)
A former employee of a Mexican supermarket has spent more than five years in jail for his role in an alleged ransom assault on an Argentine-born woman believed to have been held hostage at gunpoint by his brother.
Jorge Luis Mota, 39, of Mexico City, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism and kidnap with the goal to harm the security or life of the Mexican Republic or of a diplomatic officer.
