THE FAMILY of kidnapped businessman Derek “Stones” Tardieu is not bothered by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s comment that his kidnapping looked “fishy,” as they believe she had no ill-intent.

Tardieu, 70, and his wife, Clarabelle, 47, were kidnapped from their Monos Island home on December 6 and kidnappers demanded $2.5 million for their release.

Speaking with journalists outside Parliament on December 9, Persad-Bissessar was asked if she was concerned that there might be an upsurge in kidnappings in TT.
