Questão jurídica principal
Whether extortion qualified absorbs kidnapping and sequestration
Decisão extraída
No. The later and prolonged deprivation of liberty exceeded what was necessary for the extortion, so the offenses concur.
Fundamentação extraída
Extortion absorbs deprivation of liberty only if the latter does not go beyond what is necessary for the extortion. Here the accused kept the victim confined well after the cards and codes had been extorted and used, and after he knew the real aim was ransom from the family.
