Police dismantled a criminal gang that planned kidnappings and robberies against French public figures, including footballer Kylian Mbappé, according to information from the newspaper Le Parisien. The criminals primarily targeted people from public life in France.

The plan to kidnap Mbappé, a Real Madrid player, was being orchestrated from a prison in France. The police operation managed to thwart the plans of the criminal organization before they were carried out.

The investigation revealed that the band intended to carry out multiple attacks against well-known personalities in France. The authorities managed to identify and arrest the members of the organization before any action was carried out.
