A Chinese businessman was kidnapped and murdered in Turkey, and the suspect withdrew a large amount of funds from his crypto account.

According to Foresight News, according to the “Xinmin Evening News”, 38-year-old Chinese businessman Wang was kidnapped and killed in Turkey. The suspect began following Wang from Istanbul Airport, confirming that Wang had a meal with a female friend on January 19. The investigation found that the woman had been using her mobile phone to send messages, and whenever Wang looked at her, she would put down her mobile phone. When Wang and the woman walked out of the restaurant to get into the car and leave, the four suspects stuffed them into another car. During the kidnapping, the woman squatted on the ground and pretended not to know.

A few days later, the police found Wang’s body in the field, his hands, feet and mouth were tied with tape, and he was hit the head. The report said the suspect had a debt dispute with Wang, who snatched the phone and withdrew large amounts of money from his crypto account. The woman colluded with other suspects to lure Wang and fled Turkey on the day of the incident, and after the other suspects left the country, Interpol issued an arrest warrant, and the suspects, including the woman and nine men, have been arrested.
