Monday, following the rescue of Ecclestone’s mother-in-law Aparecida Schunck and arrest of her two kidnappers, Brazilian police arrested Jorge Eurico da Silva, Motorsport.com reports. Da Silva is a helicopter pilot who has worked for the Ecclestone family in the past, and is believed to have orchestrated the kidnapping.
