One of the suspected masterminds behind a string of violent kidnappings in France of people linked to the cryptocurrency trade was detained Tuesday in Morocco, France’s justice minister said.

Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, a 24-year-old French-Moroccan citizen from just outside Paris, was wanted by France for several crimes, including armed extortion and kidnapping as part of a criminal gang, according to the “red notice” for him published by Interpol and Moroccan state media.

French Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin thanked Morocco on X for detaining the man, citing the “excellent judicial cooperation” between the two countries.
