Sandra Helena Clemente, 45, was captured by two gunmen in Campinas, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Sao Paulo, police investigator Edson Aidar told The Associated Press.

Sandra was abducted when she was walking to visit a friend near her house in the Ponte Preta neighborhood, police said.

Police said the kidnappers had not made any contact by Friday afternoon. No other details about the investigation were released, as is common in kidnapping cases in Brazil.

The incident happened just 16 days after the mother of Sao Paulo striker Grafite was taken hostage in a town about 20 kilometers (15 miles) from Campinas. Grafite's mother, Ilma de Castro Libanio, was freed by police a day later.

In December, the mother of Santos striker Robinho spent 40 days captive after being abducted at a family gathering.

Luis Fabiano, a former Sao Paulo player who helped Brazil win last year's Copa America in Peru, moved to FC Porto in Portugal last August in a transaction reportedly worth US$14 million (€10.4 million).

If you get a big time contract is best you pack up the whole family and move somewhere else since Brazil big.

Real sad and too familiar sounding.
