British Ā£25K cryptocurrency broker kidnap plot smashed as three men are arrested on Costa del Sol:
This is the moment three British men were dramatically arrested over an alleged Costa del Sol kidnap plot involving a UK cryptocurrency broker.
Spanish police released footage today showing the moment they surrounded an Audi in which the trio tried to flee - after their victim managed to escape before officers cuffed the suspects on the ground at gunpoint.
The men had taken a trader hostage and demanded 30,000 euros (Ā£25,000) for his release after a chance meeting in Marbella led to him accepting an invite to an apartment in the nearby resort of Estepona.
That was where the kidnappers were thought to have been temporarily living.
The 34-year-old Hindi-speaking target got away by pretending to phone a customer he said had to give him half a code needed for accessing a crypto wallet.
He instead called a friend in London, explaining how he was being held against his will in language his captors did not understand.
His friend alerted the victim's mother, who told police what was happening - sparking an operation to locate the property where he was being held, which investigators initially only knew was in the Estepona area.
Heavily-armed officers managed to track down the apartment and were preparing to call in specialist reinforcements, when the kidnapped man took advantage of a momentary lapse in concentration by his abductors to escape.

The Attempt Of Kidnapping Into the Paris city
Crypto Exchange CEO
š„· In Paris, three masked men attacked a woman, the daughter of the CEO of an unnamed cryptocurrency trading platform. š„·š„· The attackers attempted to force the woman and her child into a cargo van with the Chronopost logo.
šļø In January, Paris law enforcement announced the release of David Balland, co-founder of hardware crypto wallet company Ledger. The businessman was kidnapped from his home, and the criminals demanded a large ransom in cryptocurrency for his release.
š¤¼ The incident occurred on Tuesday, May 13, in the morning on Rue Pache in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. The child's father, who was nearby, intervened and, despite being seriously beaten, was able to prevent the kidnapping.
š The Paris prosecutor's office has instructed the Brigade de RĆ©pression du Banditisme to launch an investigation and determine whether the crime was motivated by financial crime, given the family's ties to the cryptocurrency industry.
āEarlier, Euroweeklynews noted that kidnappings of crypto moguls and their family members for ransom have become more frequent in France. The day before, French police released a 60-year-old man whose finger was cut off by criminals who demanded a ransom of several million dollars from his son, who owns cryptocurrency.
āThe activity of kidnappings has increased significantly since the appearance of KYC document sets, data of users of large crypto exchanges, on sale.
āIs it possible to somehow protect your KYC data or will it still appear on the Internet, because there is a good demand for it?
