The criminals sprayed an unknown substance into Dylan Huang's eyes, tied him up and took him to the neighboring town of Thursley. The businessman was placed in a cage inside an unknown residential building, beaten, threatened with a knife, demanding a ransom in bitcoins in the amount of $15 million. A day later, the attackers released the Chinese businessman, thrown onto the side of the road in Surrey.
Soon, UK police detained 35-year-old Chinese citizen Tianfu Guo. Money and passports of other persons with Chinese citizenship were found on the detainee. Tianfu Guo denies charges of conspiracy and kidnapping of Dylan Huang.
British law enforcement officers suspect that six more suspects in the businessman's kidnapping case are now hiding in China. The investigation into the case continues.
Previously, the UK authorities amended the legislation to allow law enforcement agencies to freeze crypto assets without waiting for a court conviction.
