The mother-in-law of Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone was rescued by Brazilian cops Sunday after being kidnapped more than a week ago.
Members of the elite Sao Paulo anti-kidnapping division saved Aparecida Schunk the 67-year-old mother of Ecclestones third wife, Fabiana Flosi following a daring raid, according to the Daily Mirror.
She was found unharmed in a building as officers arrested two suspects.

It was the largest ransom demand in the countrys history.
The kidnappers, several of whom are still believed to be on the loose, had posed as delivery drivers, even carrying a bogus package, when they snatched Schunk from her home in Sao Paolo on July 22.
Ecclestone, who runs the Formula 1 group of companies that oversee the prominent European racing series, is believed to be worth more than $3 billion.
