Overview
- Police say three abductors invoked the Marseille group known as DZ Mafia, and two suspects were arrested and placed under formal investigation.
- The 25-year-old was forced into a vehicle in late March and later found alive, bound in a van in woods south of Strasbourg, according to the regional daily DNA.
- Regional reporting says the abductors targeted her because of a Dubai-based friend who made money in cryptocurrency and demanded €600,000 from him.
- DNA also reports that one suspect posed as a delivery driver and a witness noted the van’s plate number, helping officers locate the victim.
- The case is now with the JIRS in Nancy, a specialised prosecutor that handles organised-crime cases, which has declined public comment.
