French police executed a dramatic rescue operation to free the father of a cryptocurrency millionaire, who was kidnapped in a brazen daylight attack in central Paris. The victim, abducted by four masked assailants and shoved into a delivery van, was found in a house in Palaiseau with a severed finger. His captors had demanded a ransom of 5-7 million euros from his son.
Authorities tracked the victim using phone signals, leading to the arrest of four suspects. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau commended investigators for their swift action. This incident marks the third high-profile abduction tied to France’s cryptocurrency community in recent months.
