Mexico City (AFP) – Mexican security forces have rescued football star Alan Pulido hours after he was kidnapped in his crime-plagued home state of Tamaulipas, authorities said early Monday.
Pulido, a former national team forward who plays for Greek club Olympiakos, was “safe and sound” following his rescue by state and federal forces before midnight on Sunday, the Tamaulipas government said in a statement, without providing details about the operation.
