THE gang who snatched Bernie Ecclestone’s mother-in-law threatened to behead her.

The F1 boss said they emailed his wife’s family a video of an unidentified woman’s decapitation.

Aparecida Schunck, 67, was driven from her home in São Paulo, Brazil, last month in her own Ford Fiesta.

She was found a week later in a flat in the poor part of the city after the kidnappers made traceable calls to police.

Her 85-year-old son-in-law — worth an estimated £2.8billion — told the Sunday Times he would never have paid the £28million ransom but admitted he was “shaken”.

His wife Fabiana Flosi, 39, described the gruesome email as the “worst moment” of the family’s nine-day ordeal.

The alleged mastermind was Jorge Eurico da Silva Faria, a pilot used by the Ecclestone family and others involved in Formula One in Brazil. Afterwards, Mr Ecclestone said: “The last few days haven’t been very good.

“The police officers we dealt with did an unbelievable job, it was absolutely first class.”

The F1 boss married Ms Flosi — his third wife — in 2012, three years after meeting her at the Brazilian Grand Prix where she was working as a marketing executive.
