Dennis Reyes Mora, 37, Alexander Cruz, 26, and Cindy Aleman Fernandez, 27, all Brooklyn residents, are accused of holding the 18-year-old Hackensack man captive in the basement of a New York home before collecting a ransom from his family, prosecutors said. The kidnappers then moved him to the basement of a home where they tied him to a chair, assaulted him, burned cigarettes on his skin, ran a knife across his neck and held a gasoline soaked rag against his eyes, the complaint said. They also threatened him by showing him a gun and rounds of ammunition, authorities said.
The man’s mother traveled to Queens on March 21 and dropped off $20,000 in cash at a specified location before they released him, officials said.
