More details on this sordid affair:
Balland was kidnapped Tuesday in Vierzon by a violent commando before being released yesterday evening during a spectacular intervention by the GIGN.
The kidnappers demanded a large ransom in cryptocurrencies.
The victim was held captive in an undisclosed location for 48 hours, requiring medical care after his release.
The Paris prosecutor's office has referred the matter to the specialized JIRS jurisdiction given the seriousness of the facts, which constitute organized crime. The crime is punishable by life imprisonment.
Several suspects are in police custody but investigations are continuing to find all the perpetrators. (edited)
