The three are suspected of carrying out two armed kidnappings targeting cryptocurrency holders in the Île-de-France region on March 10. According to reports, the first incident occurred in Essonne, a southern suburb of Paris, where the suspects, wearing masks and carrying small explosive devices, attempted to break into the home of a cryptocurrency holder but failed. About 30 minutes later, another incident took place in Seine-et-Marne, where the suspects successfully broke into the residence of a female cryptocurrency holder, held her family hostage, and stole jewelry. Whether cryptocurrency assets were also stolen has not yet been disclosed. Police subsequently tracked the suspects' vehicle, deploying approximately 100 armed special forces officers and two police helicopters in pursuit. After about six hours, the vehicle was intercepted, and stolen jewelry was found inside. Prosecutors have filed charges against the three individuals, including extortion, organized crime, armed robbery, property damage, and kidnapping. Currently, the 17-year-old suspect and the 35-year-old man are in custody awaiting trial, while the 15-year-old suspect is under judicial supervision. Prosecutors have appealed the decision.
