The recent kidnapping chain and rescue attempts impacts France
David Balland, co -founder of Hardware Wallet Company Ledger, was kidnapped in January 2025 and retained by rescue for several days before being rescued by the French police.
In May 2024, the father of an unidentified cryptographic businessman was released from a rescue attempt after the officials responsible for enforcing French law raided the location in a suburb of Paris where the individual was hostage by an organized criminal.
According to Le Parisien, the cut was cut one of the victim’s fingers who endured a disturbing similarity with other cases of kidnapping related to cryptography in France, where the victim was mutilated by the suspects.
Shortly after, on May 13, Pierre Noizat’s family, co -founder and CEO of French Crypto Exchange Paymium, was attacked in an attempted kidnapping.
Several masked assailants attacked the family on the street and tried to force Noizat’s daughter and grandson to one in full light in daylight.
The daughter and another pedestrian managed to fight against the attackers and force them to retire, preveting that the family be kidnapped.
The high visibility and the shameless crime sent shock waves through the world of Cryptto, leading the French Interior Minister Brunoinleau to ask for a meeting with industry executives to discuss incidents and propose consolidated security professionals for Atensioners.
