Three years ago, Hugo Wallace was abducted. The  kidnappers wanted his money so they led him into a trap and killed him.

But Hugo Wallace is not an isolated case. In Mexico, kidnapping has turned into a big business. As France and Mexico negotiate over the case of Florence Cassez, a French woman convicted of kidnapping, we take you to a country were over three thousand people were kidnapped last year.

In Mexico, a country full of corruption, we met the victims as well as the authorities who are meant to be fighting this plague.

Families who have a lost a member to kidnapping assaults must cope with an inefficient and sometimes a complice police.
