Maria Àngels Feliu Bassols is kidnapped at gunpoint after closing her pharmacy. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman from La Garrotxa, mother of three children, she is 34 years old. Her family files the first complaint with the local police, unknowingly giving a wide berth to her captors, orchestrated by two corrupt camouflaged agents.
Courageous, she manages to survive for 492 days locked in a cell without electricity or water, with a small light bulb and a lighter, and is involved in the longest kidnapping in Spain for reasons unrelated to terrorism.
The great media coverage makes the entire country empathize with his case. Finally, one of the members of her commando, her jailer Iñaki, takes pity on her and frees her at a gas station on March 27, 1994.
He was not alone. Along with him, two local police officers from the aforementioned Girona town –Antonio Guirado and Josep Zambrano-, a forest guard and his wife –Ramón Ullastre and Montserrat Teixidor-, and a small-time criminal –Josep Lluís Paz, alias ‘Pato’- , had been the official kidnappers of the apothecary.
