How Somali Pirates Get Ransom for Hijacked Ships
24 Feb 2012
After they captured a ship, the negotiations with the ship owners begin.
Typically, the amount of ransom starts with hundreds of millions of dollars, but during the negotiating process, it is reduced to a few million dollars.
Once the parties reach a compromise, the aircraft flies to the appointed place And drops a capsule with the cash inside into the sea
Pirates pick up the cargo and immediately start splitting the profit. Often the disputes arise in the process, ending with a shootout and deaths of pirates.
not that i side with the pirates, but the other side of the story rarely gets told...
