During the investigation, it was revealed that the group led by the young man allegedly planned to kidnap 26 people – footballers, rappers, and wealthy businessmen.
The plans were made during the period from April 11 to August 19, reports “Le Parisien”.
Among the possible targets was the 27-year-old Real Madrid star K. Mbappe.
The suspect was identified while investigating a robbery at a watch store in April.
The young man allegedly gave instructions to accomplices via “Snapchat”, using the nickname “Lester Z”. Officers found exact addresses of singers, footballers, and wealthy businessmen on his phone. Among the possible targets were a Chinese wholesaler, jewelers, and the owner of a Turkish meat shop whose property is valued in millions.
“He also wanted to target the rapper and footballer K. Mbappe,” said a court source.
However, how exactly the kidnapping between Paris and Madrid would have taken place is not disclosed. The trial is now awaited.
