The lack of knowledge regarding his father’s location continues to be a source of worry and uncertainty for Liverpool’s budding star, Luis Diaz. Colombian officials moved quickly, putting up a sizable reward of 200 million pesos (about £39,000) for crucial information that would result in Diaz’s father’s rescue.
Diaz’s conspicuous absence from Liverpool’s match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday served as a sobering reminder of the difficult circumstances his family is going through. Diaz’s parents were abducted by unidentified gunmen on motorcycles just the night before. In a daring police operation, Diaz’s mother Cilenis Marulanda was successfully recovered, but his father’s whereabouts are still unknown.
In an update, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said that efforts are still being made to find Diaz’s father. He also noted the troubling circumstances. There’s no denying the seriousness of the situation, with authorities doing every effort to keep the captive from being sent to Venezuela.
Luis Fernando Velasco, Colombia’s Interior Minister, stressed the necessity for people to come forward with any information that could help in Diaz’s father’s rescue, highlighting the significance of cooperation and solidarity during this trying time.
