France’s Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has called an emergency meeting with cryptocurrency industry leaders after a brazen daylight kidnapping attempt targeting a crypto entrepreneur’s family. The incident, captured on surveillance footage in Paris’ 11th arrondissement, saw four masked assailants attempt to abduct the daughter and grandson of a digital asset professional.
The planned security talks mark the government’s escalating response to a series of attacks against crypto-affiliated individuals in France. While no specific coins or exchanges were mentioned in connection with the incident, the targeting of cryptocurrency professionals highlights the sector’s growing visibility and associated risks in traditional finance hubs.
