PARIS — The French interior minister said Wednesday he will meet with cryptocurrency professionals to discuss how to prevent future kidnappings for ransom following several such high-profile cases in France.
Bruno Retailleau’s invitation comes a day after the latest violent kidnapping attempt in broad daylight in Paris, and a series of previous such incidents.
“I will assemble businesspeople working in cryptocurrencies, and we have a few of those in France, at the interior ministry to work with them on their security,” Retailleau told the Europe 1/Cnews broadcaster, “and so that they become aware of the risks”.
