He was forcibly taken to a stolen Clio car by four kidnappers. According to preliminary information, the victim has 40,000 followers on TikTok and was beaten after being kidnapped. The kidnappers asked him for 50,000 euros in cryptocurrency, but after checking his account balance and finding a small amount, the kidnappers released him because they found that the victim did not have the required amount.
