Behind the scenes of life as an influencer? In any case, this is the version of this 30-year-old young woman, victim of a violent attack. Sunday morning in Fresnes (Val-de-Marne), she was kidnapped and held captive for four hours by criminals who demanded a tidy sum from her that she did not have.
It’s 8:30 a.m. on Avenue du Parc Médicis, in the gigantic glass-walled Eurohôtel. The victim hears a knock on his door. When she opens, the thirty-year-old finds herself facing three hooded and gloved thugs. They threaten her with a gun. She suffered several blows to the head with a gun but then was pushed manu militari out of the establishment. The kidnappers order him to slip into the trunk of a car. She is taken and sequestered in an apartment.
These men demand that she pay them 300,000 euros. “She told them that she did not have such a sum,” explains a source close to the case. After hours spent between demands and procrastination, the trio releases her at midday and shows her the nearest station. She gets on the train at Épinay-sur-Orge (Essonne). At 1 p.m., she returned to her hotel and alerted her friend and colleague who had moved into the next room. They immediately called emergency services.
The officials went to the scene and noticed that the client had bruises on her face. She says that her attackers stole several pieces of jewelry from her. Investigators from the Val-de-Marne departmental judicial police service are responsible for carrying out the investigations. They recovered CCTV footage from the hotel. They confirm the reality of the victim's story.
The police will scrutinize this woman's life to try to determine whether her declared activity as an influencer could have attracted thugs. So far, no suspects have been identified.
