ORIGINAL (unknown, verbatim as retrieved)
Yvelines: un couple victime d'une séquestration pour 900.000 euros en bitcoins - L'essentiel
Un homme et une femme d'une cinquantaine d'années ont été séquestrés lundi matin à leur domicile au Chesnay (Yvelines) et forcés à virer 900 000 euros en bitcoins à leurs agresseurs, a appris l'AFP de sources concordantes. Une enquête est en cours pour séquestration et vol avec arme en bande organisée, ainsi que pour association de malfaiteurs, a indiqué le parquet de Versailles, sollicité par l'AFP. Aucune interpellation n'a eu lieu à ce stade, a ajouté cette source.
Les investigations sont menées par la Brigade de répression du banditisme (BRB). Selon une source policière, trois personnes se sont introduites lundi matin au domicile du couple. L'une d'entre elles a menacé d'agresser la femme avec un couteau si son compagnon n'effectuait pas un virement en cryptomonnaies.
Celui-ci a obtempéré, poursuit la source, et viré l'équivalent de 900 000 euros en bitcoins sur un compte, un préjudice qu'a confirmé le parquet de Versailles. Toujours selon la même source, les deux victimes ont ensuite été installées de force dans leur canapé, l'homme ligoté et la femme légèrement blessée, avant que les trois individus ne quittent les lieux.
Les enlèvements, parfois spectaculaires, contre demande de rançon ou vols de cryptomonnaies se sont multipliés depuis début 2025 dans toute la France, parallèlement à la popularité de ces actifs. La série noire des enlèvements a commencé en janvier 2025 avec le rapt du cofondateur de Ledger (start-up de portefeuilles de cryptomonnaies), libéré grâce à un assaut du GIGN alors que sa femme avait été secourue par les gendarmes.
Le 1er mai, en plein Paris, le père d'un homme ayant fait fortune dans les cryptomonnaies avait également été enlevé par quatre hommes encagoulés, avant d'être finalement libéré par la police. Ses ravisseurs avaient réclamé une rançon de plusieurs millions d'euros en cryptomonnaies.
