France has arrested more than 20 people over two recent kidnapping plots targeting crypto traders in Paris and another attempt in western France, according to reports from French news agency AFP.
The arrests are part of an investigation by France's organised crime office into several abudctions, one on 1 May (abduction of the father of a crypto-millionaire, who was later rescued by French police), another on 13 May (attempted kidnapping of a French cryptocurrency entrepreneur's daughter and grandson), and a new plot that was foiled Monday near the western city of Nantes.
