Segundo Tevez was taken by a group of assailants at around sunrise on the outskirts of Buenos Aires but was 'in good shape' after being released, according to the family's lawyer Gustavo Galasso.
Argentine TV station C5N said Tevez was set free after a payment of 40,000 pesos (£3,000) but neither the family nor the police confirmed this.
The former Manchester United and Manchester City striker was given permission by Juventus to leave Italy but reports there said he was not going back to Argentina following news of the release.
La Nacionin Argentina reported that Tevez was driving his car in the municipality of Moron, a province of Buenos Aires, when he was taken hostage in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The Volkswagen Vento vehicle has been found abandoned and Argentine websites claim that the three men reportedly guilty were not aware of the identity of Tevez's father but once they discovered his background, they made extortionate financial demands over the phone to the player's family.
Tevez was adopted by his maternal aunt and her husband, Segundo Tevez, as a baby.
