The kidnapping attempt took place on Tuesday morning on the busy Paris Street.
The man who intervened with the fire extinguisher was identified as the store owner.
The goal of the kidnapping was identified in local media reports as the 34 -year -old daughter of the CEO for the purchase of cryptocurrencies, which was at that time with his partner, according to Reuters report.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Paris did not comment on the identity of the victims. The office said it opened the probe into an attempt to kidnap, which would be carried out by a unit of organized crime of the Paris police. It also criticized the video sharing and said it complicated the suffering of the victims.
The attack comes at a time when France is struggling with the rise of drug crime and waves of prison attacks allegedly carried out by narcotic kings.
The kidnapping gangs have particularly focused on crypto wealth in the middle of many similar incidents since the beginning of this year.
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleu said on Wednesday that he had met French crypto entrepreneurs to inform them about risks and take measures to protect them.
