Three arrested after break-in at Binance France executive's home
French police detained three suspects following a failed home invasion targeting a Binance France executive, according to multiple reports.
French police arrested three suspects after a break-in that targeted a Binance France executive, and Binance confirmed a home invasion involving an employee, according to Cointelegraph and other outlets [1][4].
Reports say the incident involved masked and reportedly armed individuals who entered an apartment building in the Val-de-Marne area and carried out what has been described as two separate attempted robberies, with one account saying the suspects initially entered the wrong apartment before moving to the intended residence; several outlets identified the executive as David Prinçay [2][3][4].
Authorities mounted a cross‑region response that resulted in arrests in Lyon after failed raids across the Paris region, and the executive escaped the attack, according to law‑enforcement sources cited in reports [6][3][1].
The episode has drawn attention to security concerns for cryptocurrency industry executives, a point noted by analysts and news outlets covering the story [5].
