Qué pasó con Quini, la estrella del Barça que pasó 25 días secuestrado y por quien pidieron 100 millones
AI Summary
Enrique "Quini" Castro, a Barcelona star, was kidnapped for 25 days in 1981 by three young, unemployed mechanics from Zaragoza seeking financial relief. The kidnappers, without prior criminal records or political affiliations, demanded a ransom of 100 million pesetas (approximately 600,000 euros). Quini was held in a small, windowless room and fed sandwiches while his absence impacted Barcelona's performance, as they lost crucial matches during his captivity. The kidnappers' lack of experience complicated the ransom process, leading to unusual demands. The event, which occurred shortly after a failed coup attempt, is now the subject of a three-part series, "Por cien millones," premiering on Movistar Plus+.
