Bernie Ecclestone's mother-in-law freed

Bernie Ecclestone's mother-in-law has been freed by Brazilian police after her kidnap ordeal.

Aparecida Schunck, mother of Ecclestone's wife Fabiana Flosi, was taken from her home in Interlagos 10 days ago, and a ransom of £28 million was reportedly demanded for her release.

Schunck was released without harm and two kidnappers were arreste after a major police operation.

Ecclestone had previously offered to fly to Brazil and supply private security to help with the matter but was advised that it would be counter productive, according to the BBC.

Ecclestone and Flosi married in 2012 after meeting at the Brazilian Grand Prix three years earlier.
