 Kidnapped Father Of Crypto-Millionaire Freed In French Police Raid


French police mounted a weekend raid to free a man who had been kidnapped in Paris to force his crypto-millionaire son to pay a ransom, prosecutors said, adding that five people were arrested.


The man, whose identity was not disclosed, was traced to an address in the Essonne, a department south of Paris, which police raided late on Saturday, the prosecutors’ office said in a statement.


He had been abducted in Paris’s southern 14th arrondissement mid-morning on Thursday.


One police officer, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said four men wearing ski masks had bundled him into a delivery van as passers-by looked on.


“The victim appears to be the father of a man who made his fortune in cryptocurrencies, with the crime involving a ransom demand,” the prosecutors’ statement said.


Prosecutors gave no indication of the size of the ransom demanded, but Le Parisien newspaper reported that the kidnappers had asked for between five million and seven million euros ($5.7 million and $7.9 million). No payment was made, officials said.


A source close to the investigation told AFP that one of the father’s fingers had been chopped off.


“There were fears of other mutilations” if police had not raided the property, the source said.


Prosecutors raised the number of arrests, from four given previously, after a fifth suspect was detained driving a vehicle “likely used by the criminals”. They were all aged in their 20s.


French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau hailed the “decisive” police operation to free the man, in a message on X


Kidnapping, Torture, Blackmail


The victim’s wife told investigators that her husband and the wealthy son — who both owned a crypto marketing firm in Malta — had been targeted by threats in the past, a police source said.


Backed up by the French police’s cybercrimes unit, anti-gang investigators are probing the suspects for conspiracy to commit unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping, torture, blackmail and armed extortion.
