The Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC) is following in the footsteps of a 23-year-old Venezuelan for having simulated a kidnapping, and having also obtained funds in bitcoin.

The citizen Andrés Jesús Dos Santos Hernández is being sought by the authorities for having also stolen $ 1,150,000 in bitcoin, according to the director of the organization, Douglas Rico.

“Andrés Jesús Dos Santos Hernández (23) is wanted for money laundering and scam. He affected the economic assets of the victims for being a financial operator of the virtual currency Bitcoin,” said Douglas Rico, director of the body in his account in the social network Instagram.

The subject simulated a kidnapping where his captors allegedly forced him to enter the Binance platform. They would then have “forced” him to make transfers to different digital wallets, depleting all of the crypto assets in bitcoin.

Gustavo Torres was murdered in the municipality of Simón Bolívar, at the State of Zulia after being kidnapped and the captors demanded 1.5 bitcoin for his release.

The victim, who lived in the Taparito sector of the aforementioned municipality, was captured by criminal gangs when he was in the company of his family.

It was learned that after the kidnapping took place, the captors established contact with his relatives to demand the atypical sum for his release, but the kidnappers finally murdered him.

At first the kidnappers wanted 1.5 bitcoin to free Torres; however later they lowered this amount to 0.5 bitcoin.

It was learned that Torres’ family could barely raise about $ 3,000, but since they could not reach the total sum, they murdered him.

The authorities presume that those responsible for taking Gustavo Torres and then killing him could be some of the victim’s friends, due to the way they acted and the abnormal ransom request they were asking for his release.
