In Buenos Aires, a Russian woman linked to the crypto industry was kidnapped.
Oksana Begojeva reported that she and her husband were held bound for 8 hours, threatened with death, and demanded cryptocurrency.
"We were kidnapped, held in Buenos Aires for 8 hours, bound, threatened to be killed, with knives... They stole all the cryptocurrency we had access to," said the Russian woman.
The infant was left with a nanny, but according to Oksana, the kidnappers intended to take him as well.
Begojeva is the ex-wife of Stanislav Drugalev, the co-founder of the Garantex exchange, who died in Dubai in 2021 under mysterious circumstances. His family believes that his death may have been violent.
