This Friday, an incredible chase on the motorway ended in an accident and a spectacular arrest near Bruges. On board the vehicle were four men and a woman who were suspected of being kidnapped. According to our colleagues at Sudinfo, the kidnapped victim would be the wife of a cryptocurrency tycoon. The ransom trail would be a favored hypothesis.
On board the van involved in the chase with the police were four men and a woman. The Brussels public prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into kidnapping. “The four men who were on board were deprived of their liberty. The victim was slightly injured but his life is not in danger.“, declares Martin François, spokesperson for the Brussels public prosecutor's office.
It all started yesterday in Forest. A woman is kidnapped in a van. The case is linked to cryptocurrency. The victim would in fact be the wife of a famous investor. The latter claims to have become rich thanks to Bitcoin. His first purchase cost him 1.66 euros, he writes on his YouTube account, and today he would be a multimillionaire.
Is it this wealth that led to the kidnapping of the mother? The Brussels public prosecutor's office is not providing further information for the moment and does not specify whether the kidnapping was followed by a ransom demand. The four men remain in custody. They will be presented to a judge this weekend.
