sad and terrible news :(
But according to Pc Pro E. Kaspersky is one of the richest men in Russia with $800 million...so my question : No bodyguards??Why didn't he assure a good protection for his son...When you have so many $ ,you are a possible target... that's the sad world we live in.

I have no idea why he wouldn't ensure protection, that perplexes me infinitely.
I offer my deepest thoughts to Eugene Kaspersky and the best of luck to the police party in finding his son.
Why is the PC Pro link telling us the figures in dollars even though the link is to the UK site and the ransom in Euros?

Seems those kidnappers are very demanding for that ransoms

When it convert to USD to EURO here is the result

800,000,000.00 USD = 549,372,664.85 EUR

Let's wait for the new news how it goes for those kidnappers about their demanding of ransoms and what's their next footstep.
