A 24-year-old French-Moroccan national, Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, has been arrested in Morocco for his alleged role in orchestrating a series of crypto-related kidnappings in France. The suspect, wanted under an Interpol Red Notice for kidnapping and extortion, is accused of leading schemes targeting high-profile individuals, including Ledger co-founder David Balland earlier this year.

French Justice Minister Gérard Darmanin praised the arrest as evidence of strong judicial cooperation between France and Morocco in combating organized crime. The case highlights growing concerns over violent crypto-related crimes, with global incidents reportedly surpassing 2024 levels.
