White day robbery: Dutch traders attacked by criminals.

A bitcoin trader from the Netherlands was tortured in front of a four-year-old daughter.


A group of robbers who were disguised as police officers entered the house of the trader. About the attack said the local news agency.


Armed robbers dressed as policemen broke into a Bitcoin-trader’s home in Drenthe, the Netherlands, and tortured him for an hour in front of his four-year-old daughter. It is reported by De Telegraaf.

According to the publication, as a result of torture, the victim received serious injuries. The Dutch police have already formed a group of 15 law enforcement officers whose task is to find and detain the criminals. Note that so large groups usually work on murder investigations.

It is not yet known what exactly the robbers extorted and whether the digital assets of the trader were stolen.

In De Telegraaf they added that the victim worked in Italy and Thailand, and bought a house in Drenthe without a mortgage.

Earlier, the kidnappers of the wife of one of the richest entrepreneurs in Norway demanded a ransom of 9 million euros in XMR equivalent.
So, in January last year in Phuket a businessman from the Russian Federation was taken hostage. He was kept in custody until he transferred 100 thousand dollars in cryptocurrency to the extortionists. And this is not an isolated case.
