[Former Ukrainian Police Officers Kidnap Cryptocurrency Entrepreneur, Extort $2.2 Million] According to Decrypt, former Ukrainian police officers kidnapped a cryptocurrency entrepreneur and extorted approximately $2.2 million through violence, intimidation, and false debt claims. Prosecutors stated that the group targeted at least four victims and carried out their crimes using law enforcement tools, official vehicles, and by impersonating police officers. The Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office announced that the pre-trial investigation has been completed. The group includes four former police officers and a previously convicted civilian, but none of them have been formally charged for these attacks so far. This case comes amid a global surge in cryptocurrency-related 'wrench attacks,' where criminals use violent coercion to steal digital assets.
