A senior executive at Binance France became the target of a coordinated home invasion attempt on February 12, as three masked suspects forced their way into a residential building in Val-de-Marne. Authorities said the group searched for the executive’s apartment while he was away.

Although they failed to find him, the suspects later carried out a second violent attempt in another suburb before police arrested them in Lyon. The case has raised fresh concerns about security risks facing prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry.
