It mentions that Empain manages French corporations with 150 companies employing 130, 000 employees and with annual sales of 4.7 billion dollars. It says that it was clear that the kidnap of Emain was l'italienne with ransom of 20 million dollars and with a letter written by Emain with his identification card sent to his family as proof that Emain is truly held by the kidnappers.
