The French police saved the father of a wealthy cryptocurrency entrepreneur during a dramatic night robbery Crypto-bound crime in France.
The man was kidnapped in the capital on Thursday morning, the public prosecutor confirmed on Sunday. “The victim turned out to be the father of a man who made his assets in cryptocurrencies, and the incident was accompanied by a ransom demand,” said the office. The authorities have not published the names of the participants.
The investigators managed to pursue the hostage of a house in the Esonne region south of Paris, where a rescue mission started a rescue mission on Saturday evening. He was found injured and received medical treatment. French media reported that one of his fingers had been cut off by the kidnappers.
Five suspects were arrested in connection with the case. Four were found in or near the house in which the victim was recorded, while the fifth was arrested when a vehicle was traveled, which was assumed to be used during the kidnapping.
The prosecutors say that the suspects could be exposed to several charges, including the kidnapping “with torture or a barbaric action”.
This incident follows another top-class crypto crime in January, when David Balland, co-founder of the French Crypto Wallet Company Ledger, was kidnapped together with his wife in the Cher France region. According to reports, the perpetrators reported from another Ledger co-founder ransom in cryptocurrency.
The next day, Balland was liberated in an attack by France's national gendarmerie Intervention Group (Gign), whereby his wife was saved a day later and was tied up in a vehicle.
The authorities have expressed concerns about organized crime, which aims at the crime associated with the growing digital asset industry.
