He lost 7 kilos during those seven days, only allowed to drink minimum water and constantly threatened by the criminal gang. Three chapters of his autobiography, to be published by the Planeta publishing house, cover this kidnap episode. On 10 October 2002, he suffered an accident where he caught fire during the "Reto Burundis" in Otro Rollo.
