Gendarmerie Identifies 3 Sponsors of Crypto-Thefts from Their Prison

On March 10, a cryptocurrency holder in Essonne repelled two masked individuals attempting to break into his home. The investigation, led by the Gendarmerie, resulted in the interception of a vehicle in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, leading to the arrest of three suspects, one adult and two teenagers, six hours after the incident. These individuals are also linked to another crypto kidnapping case in Seine-et-Marne. They have been charged and placed under judicial control. Subsequently, investigators identified three sponsors operating from their prison via social media, with the help of an outside accomplice. A judicial operation led to their arrest and the seizure of incriminating evidence. The suspects are accused of conspiracy and organized extortion with a weapon.
