French press reports have revealed a foiled plot to kidnap Real Madrid star Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, one of 26 targets that included footballers, rap singers and wealthy businessmen.<\/p>\n

Spanish newspaper “Marca”<\/a> reported that French authorities arrested 18-year-old “Cl\u00e9ment L”, who ran a criminal organisation under the alias “Lester Z”.<\/p>\n

The accused is already serving a prison sentence for armed robbery and pimping. Investigators discovered he was still running the gang from inside his cell, issuing instructions through Snapchat.<\/p>\n

Police tracked him down after investigating a robbery at a luxury watch shop in Neuilly-sur-Seine last April.<\/p>\n

Searching his two mobile phones, the authorities found a list of addresses and information relating to 26 targets the organisation planned to kidnap, among them footballers, rap artists and businessmen with enormous fortunes.<\/p>\n

A judicial source confirmed Mbapp\u00e9 ranked among the most prominent names on the list, alongside a rap singer and several businessmen, including a jeweller, a Turkish meat trader and a Chinese businessman, all of them hugely wealthy.<\/p>\n

Under questioning, the accused, who dropped out in the first year of a vocational cooking course, said he hoped to finish his education and work as a chef one day, despite the serious charges against him.<\/p>\n

News of the plot sent shockwaves through France. The list of targets was headed by the Real Madrid star and France captain.<\/p>\n
