NYPD Detectives Reassigned in Crypto Kidnapping Case

Two NYPD detectives have been placed on modified duty following their alleged involvement with suspects in a kidnapping case related to the extraction of Bitcoin ransom. The investigation is focusing on their potential off-duty security work for individuals accused of the crime. 20-year veteran detective involved, who allegedly worked for John Woeltz and William Duplessie, has been reassigned pending an internal probe. The NYPD emphasizes that neither detective was directly involved in the act itself, and city protocols are being followed. The incident has triggered calls for stricter regulations regarding off-duty security work within the department.
