France to bolster security for crypto execs after violent attacks.
French authorities are looking to provide extra security for cryptocurrency executives and their families following a series of high-profile kidnappings and attempted abductions.
France’s Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau made the announcement in a statement on Friday, May 16.
His remarks came as France grapples with a wave of violent attacks targeting leading figures in the crypto industry. The most recent incident involved an attempted abduction in central Paris. Authorities now say they are enhancing protection measures for prominent individuals in the sector and their families.
