According to Cointelegraph from Foresight News, Moroccan police have arrested Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, the alleged mastermind behind several recent cryptocurrency-related kidnapping cases in France. The 24-year-old dual French-Moroccan national was found in possession of multiple knives and mobile phones. Interpol had previously issued a red notice for Bajjou in 2023, accusing him of involvement in kidnapping and other criminal activities. Recent incidents include a failed kidnapping attempt on the daughter and grandson of Paymium CEO Pierre Noizat on May 13, and the kidnapping of a crypto entrepreneur's father on May 3 (involving a $7.8 million ransom). In January, Ledger co-founder David Balland was also kidnapped but was later rescued by the police.
