secuestro simple

Other than the obvious "simple kidnapping "or "simple seizure," is there a set term for this?

It is found in a list under the heading:

TIPO DE NOTICIA

Tipo de Noticia: DENUNCIA
Delito Referente: 278 - Secuestro simple y ART 158 CP
Municipio: Medellín
Entidad Receptora FISSALÍA GENERAL DE LA NACIÓN

I´d suggest you do a bit of research on Colombian law, Mike, it would have a specific meaning and that is the only way to determine how to translate it. I do the same with Mexican stuff, that´s the only way.

simple kidnapping

No estoy segura de lo que significa secuestro simple en Colombia, pero esto encontré en el Mazzucco & Maranghello:

Secuestro para pedir rescate: kidnapping for ransom
Secuestro sin rescate: simple kidnapping

Ojalá te sirva.
