THE head of the 431-year-old Catholic religious order that first used the Red Cross as a symbol for helping the sick was under arrest yesterday after allegedly kidnapping two priests so that they could not vote against his re-election.

Father Renato Salvatore, 58, was re-elected Superior General of the Order of Clerics Regular, Ministers of the Sick on May 13 in an alleged plot worthy of a Dan Brown novel.
