Kidnap and Ransom Insurance
Comprehensive protection for companies and individuals against the risks of kidnapping, extortion, and unlawful detention, including professional crisis management.
Safety for your employees and family in a risky world
Kidnap & Ransom (K&R) insurance is no longer solely the domain of oil magnates. In today's globalized world, ordinary employees sent for installations in developing countries, managers on business trips, or even domestic workers face the threat of kidnapping. Eurovalley offers a solution that, in a crisis, provides not only funds for ransom but, more importantly, immediate access to a team of international negotiators and security experts whose sole goal is the safe return of the abducted person home.
Why is expert assistance crucial?
Money isn't everything
In the event of a kidnapping, it's not just about "paying up." The key is knowing to whom, how, and when. Unprofessional negotiation can escalate the situation and endanger the hostage's life. Therefore, the insurance includes services from renowned international agencies (such as Control Risks) with experience from thousands of cases worldwide.
Cash Flow Protection and Liability
Paying a ransom from company funds can be problematic both accounting-wise and legally. Insurance transfers this burden to the insurer, thereby protecting the company's financial stability and its statutory bodies from accusations of unauthorized asset management.
Prevention and Training
Eurovalley's insurance isn't just reactive. It also includes a preventative component – training for employees before they travel to high-risk areas, so they know how to behave and how to minimize the risk of kidnapping.
Real-world scenarios covered by insurance
Kidnapping of a Manager Abroad
A sales director was kidnapped while traveling from an airport in South America. The kidnappers are demanding $2 million. The insurance company immediately dispatches a team of negotiators to reduce the demand and ensure a safe handover.
Cyber Extortion
A company received an email threatening to publish sensitive client data if a payment in cryptocurrency wasn't made. The insurance covers the costs of IT experts and any potential ransom.
Detention at the Border
A technician was detained in Africa by a local militia over an alleged (fabricated) visa issue and held in a cell. The insurance company covered the costs of lawyers and negotiations for his release.
Vehicle Hijacking
A truck carrying valuable cargo was stopped by an armed group. The driver was beaten, and the cargo was stolen under threat of violence. The insurance compensates for the driver's injuries and trauma.
