Kidnapped Greek Australian finally free
Kidnapped Greek Australian girl Chrysovalanto Nisyros was freed from her kidnappers after being taken from the Eleftherios Venizelos airport in Athens more than a year ago
Kidnapped Greek Australian girl Chrysovalanto Nisyros was freed from her kidnappers after being taken from the Eleftherios Venizelos airport in Athens more than a year ago.
Nisyros, who comes for a wealthy family known for their large properties, was kidnapped and taken to Kurdistan where she was used as a slave. Her kidnappers had knowledge of her wealth and demanded a hefty sum as the ransom. The girl risked her life to make contact with her family to alert them to where she was.
With the help of the Australian government, relevant American authorities and the full assistance of the UN in Kurdistan, Nisyros was freed from her kidnappers. She was transferred to a safe place in Istanbul and later to Athens. Nisyros has returnd to the island of Karpathos where she is safe and sound with her family.
There is a current criminal investigation underway into the kidnapping, where it may be possible that there were collaborators involved in the abduction due to the known wealth of the family.
