Kiro Kirov, the Bulgarian businessman, who was recently released by his abductors, offered more details about his horrific ordeal.

The emotional Kirov spoke before reporters Monday saying that he was initially held in handcuffs and was beaten up when he requested that they are taken off.

Kirov further said he spent the entire time in a tiny, cell-like room, and had lost significant weight. He refused to eat most of the food offered by the abductors and survived on cucumbers and feta cheese.

The kidnappers asked him to write a total of three letters to his son Ivan, including instructions about the demanded ransom.

On his part, Kirov's son informed that the perpetrators kept in touch with him trough text messages, telling him where to leave the money. Ivan Kirov said that before reaching the designated spot, he was made to drive to different locations in Sofia and western Bulgaria such as the towns of Dupnista and Samokov.
