French cryptocurrency boss Pierre Noizat on Friday praised his “heroic” son-in-law and a neighbour armed with a fire extinguisher for thwarting the attempted kidnapping of his pregnant daughter and young grandson.
This week’s attempted abduction was the latest attack on a crypto trader in Paris, prompting another prominent cryptocurrency entrepreneur to urge authorities to “stop the Mexicanisation of France.”
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau held an emergency meeting with sector leaders on Friday, with the ministry announcing plans to bolster their security.
On Tuesday morning, four masked men attacked the daughter of Noizat, who is the CEO and co-founder of Paymium, a French cryptocurrency exchange platform, as well as her husband and their child in the French capital’s hip 11th district.
All three suffered light injuries and were taken to hospital. Noizat praised his “heroic” son-in-law and the man who used a red fire extinguisher against the attackers, saying he was “exemplary.”
