Police still have no leads on the whereabouts of a 69-year-old retired broker who was kidnapped Monday morning by three men.

Silvano Azzolini was taken hostage by three hooded men outside an office in the suburb of Villanova di Castenaso where he worked as a consultant.

The kidnappers have still not made contact with the family and investigators believe they may be using Azzolini himself to obtain a ransom.

Despite being retired, Azzolini remained active, especially in the real estate business where he specialised in the renting of warehouses.

There is great concern over his health because Azzolini is a diabetic and has a heart condition.
