82 criminal charges follow armed crypto abduction in Toronto

Summary

Toronto police say seven men, including three Canadian Armed Forces members, face a combined 82 charges over the alleged July kidnapping and assault of a crypto exchange owner. Investigators allege the suspects sought access to cryptocurrency assets and business security systems, but have not identified the exchange, confirmed any transfer, or reported losses. Searches recovered firearms, ammunition, silencers, tracking devices and other items; police say some ammunition and magazines were stolen from the military. The investigation remains active, and the allegations do not establish each suspect’s role.
