A "double passive" occurs when a main verb and its dependent infinitive are both in the passive voice.

In the first sentence, is rumored is the present passive of a reporting verb, followed by the perfect passive infinitive to have been spotted, indicating an action completed in the past.

In the second sentence, are expected is the main passive verb, followed by the simple passive infinitive to be abducted, indicating a future action happening to the subject.
