Crypto World News reports that, according to an investigation by Le Monde, a kidnapping case related to cryptocurrency in France has uncovered a money laundering link involving Venezuelan crypto wallets.
The indictment shows that in August 2023, the father of the crypto billionaire teufeurs was kidnapped in France, and teufeurs ultimately transferred approximately $1.98 million in ransom to two wallets designated by the kidnappers.
French gendarmes then tracked that $131,002 flowed into a new wallet, whose owner was identified as Venezuelan woman Isabel V.
The investigation states that this wallet received a total of about $5.2 million in cryptocurrency from 2021 to 2023, and French authorities later seized nearly $900k remaining in it.
Isabel V. has been charged with organized money laundering, but the related cross-border fund chain has not yet been fully clarified.
