- Binance France executive targeted in violent home invasion attempt.
- Masked suspects strike again in Paris suburbs after failed attempt.
- Lyon police arrest suspects after multiple violent home invasion attempts.
On February 12, a senior executive at Binance France was targeted in a violent home invasion attempt in the Paris suburbs. Three masked suspects forcibly entered a residential building in Val-de-Marne, searching for the executive’s apartment while he was away. Though they failed to locate the executive’s unit, they did manage to break into another apartment and steal two mobile phones.
The suspects did not stop there just a couple of hours later, at around 9:15 a.m., they attempted another violent break-in in the neighboring suburb of Vaucresson, located in Hauts-de-Seine. This time, the assailants assaulted a woman with gun butts during their attempted invasion. However, they quickly realized they had targeted the wrong residence and fled the scene.

Authorities moved swiftly in their investigation, tracing the stolen phones back to the first break-in. CCTV footage and further evidence showed that the suspects had been seen in a vehicle near the Val-de-Marne building earlier that morning. Investigators managed to connect the dots between the two incidents and track the suspects’ movements.
Arrest in Lyon Prevents Further Violence
The police tracked the suspects as they traveled by train to Lyon, where they were intercepted by a specialized intervention unit at the Lyon Perrache station. The swift and coordinated operation led to their arrest before any further crimes could take place.
The suspects are now under investigation by the Paris Organized Crime Unit and regional police. Authorities are working to determine whether the group had specifically targeted the Binance France executive or if their actions were random. This case has raised concerns about the growing security risks facing prominent individuals in the cryptocurrency industry.
