MANILA, Philippines–Airport policemen stopped a Swedish man on Sunday from leaving for Iloilo province with his 28-year-old Filipino girlfriend after her family accused him of kidnapping her. According to Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-Avsegroup) head Chief Supt. Pablo Francisco Balagtas, his men took into custody Zohar Katz, 29, after he and his girlfriend Samantha Anne Cang showed up for their flight at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. Earlier, Cang’s mother and older brother filed a kidnapping complaint against him with the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG). Aside from arresting Katz, the police also rescued Cang who insisted, however, that she was not being kidnapped. The couple told the lawmen that they were consenting adults who loved each other. Based on the April 30 complaint filed by Cang’s 36-year-old brother Ian Henry with the PNP-AKG, he claimed that his sister was abducted on April 25 by Katz whom he described as her “stalker.” He said he last saw her driving away from their Pasay City house with the Swedish national in a sport utility vehicle. In a joint complaint-affidavit filed by Ian Henry and his mother, Betty, they claimed that Katz and Cang met somewhere in Europe after she went there by herself on a monthlong tour. They claimed that Cang had complained about being stalked by Katz which prompted her to return home on April 24. The Swedish national, however, followed her to the Philippines the next day and went to their house in Pasay City. It was at that time that he kidnapped Cang, they said. They added in their affidavit: “Every time we would try to contact her, Zohar Katz was the one answering the phone, telling us that we would never see our Samantha again, as he would be leaving the country with [her] very soon. [In] the background, we would hear Samantha crying. Unfortunately, since she was being held by Zohar Katz against her will, she could not talk to us and tell us her whereabouts. Zohar Katz started threatening us and even told us, ‘Enjoy your life because it will be very short.’” The airport police said they would turn over Katz to the PNP-AKG for further investigation.

Then again, maybe it is a legit kidnapping claim.
If that was not So Funny Alex it could be believed, isn't it funny how we say things that could be just So. But...................... now though, we have to be so careful how we put things. reading between the lines on this one, I do smell something a Little fishy
It has been said there are usually 3 stories to the ''story'' ----- his story, their story, and the real story.
Besides there is no Zohar Katz living in Sweden. In fact no Katz at all age 29. Must be the regular confusion between Sweden and Switzerland. Katz sounds a bit more German.
