In Austria, a message caused a stir: On Tuesday at 15.30 clock should have been kidnapped a woman in Eisenstadt.
As a spokeswoman for the State Office of Criminal Investigation Burgenland told SPIEGEL, the 88-year-old has since reappeared. The spokeswoman confirmed that the woman is the mother of the CEO of Esterhazy, Stefan Ottrubay. Further details on the case will be announced later.
According to Austrian media, Magdolna Theresia Ottrubay is said to be staying with her daughter in Kitzbühel, Tyrol.
According to police, the woman was traveling along the street with a nurse when two black limousines stopped next to the two. The nurse was pushed to the side and put the 88-year-old in one of the vehicles. When the cars drove away, the nurse alerted the police. The nurse was not injured.
The incident triggered a massive police operation in the small town near the Hungarian border.
