Police arrest pilot over kidnap of F1 chief's mother-in-law

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The kidnapping of Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone's mother-in-law was allegedly planned by one of his helicopter pilots, Sao Paulo police said Monday.

Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city and the center of commerce, for decades has had problems with people being kidnapped and held for ransom, but a dedicated police task force reduced the crime over the last 15 years.
