Police did not provide any further details on the circumstances of his release and whether ransom had been paid. The kidnappers had asked for EUR 50mn to release Milonas. Kidnappings in Greece are rare but the country suffered a spate of assassinations of businessmen and diplomats from 1975 to 2003, mostly the work of the now-dismantled November 17 group of extreme leftist urban guerrillas.

Trading in shares of Alumil has been suspended.
