Kidnapping plot foiled: Criminal ring targeting Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé busted in France
Arrested Lester Z, 18, mastermind of a dangerous French gang
R eal Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé was listed as one of the main targets on the list of the dangerous French gang led by an 18-year-old under the pseudonym Lester Z.
It is reported by the prestigious newspaper " Le Parisien ". In fact, it is Clément L., 18 years old, Franco-Swiss and already imprisoned for armed robbery and pimping, at which point it was discovered that he was planning to kidnap 26 people : footballers , rappers and wealthy businessmen. He was identified after the assault on a watchmaker last April in Neuilly-sur-Seine.'
From his cell in the Villepinte penitentiary (Seine-Saint-Denis), this young man gave orders via Snapchat using the pseudonym "Lester Z". From his two phones, the addresses of singers, footballers and businessmen were extracted, all of them with great wealth.
Among them are a Chinese wholesaler in the 19th district, jewelers, and a Turkish meat wholesaler in Val-d"Oise, whose fortune is estimated in the millions. And an incomparably richer target: "He also wanted to target a rapper and footballer Kylian Mbappé," adds a judicial source.
When questioned, the young man, who dropped out of school in his first year of vocational training in cooking, says that he hopes to resume his studies and become a chef.
