Soho, Manhattan – An investor of cryptocurrencies gave in detention to the alleged kidnapping and torture of a man in New York before the court on Wednesday morning.
John Wellz, 37, was expected to represent his first court appearance in a court hall in Manhattan after he was detained on Friday and was charged with the alleged kidnapping plan.
His lawyer told ABC News that Woeltz also gave up the appearance scheduled for Thursday, but he refused to answer other questions about the case.
On Tuesday, William Doblisi, 33, surrendered to the detective in thirteenth place.
Meanwhile, public prosecutors provided additional details about what happened in the eight bedroom Soho house.
The assistant prosecutor Michael Matson said Woeltz and Duplessie attracted the alleged victim of New York from Italy by threatening to kill the alleged victim’s family.
Once the alleged victim arrived, he was stripped of his electronics and passport. Then he was obligated to the wrists, was beaten and shocked, and hit his head from a pistol.
It is claimed that Woez carried the alleged victim to the top of the stairs and hung it on the edge and threatened to kill him if he did not provide the password of Bitcoin.
The prosecution said that the victim told the authorities, Woez and Duplesie, a saw for cutting his leg, urinating him and forcing him to smoke cocaine by holding him or forcing him to a tube in his mouth.
The alleged victim has finally managed to escape after the belief that he would shoot by telling his kidnappers that he would provide the defendant with the password of Bitcoin on his laptop.
When Woeltz left the victim to restore the laptop, the alleged victim managed to escape from the stairs.
Inside the house, the prosecutors said that investigators recovered the saw, cocaine, chicken wire, shirts with pictures of the alleged victim with cocaine cocaine tube in his mouth, body shield, night vision glasses, ballistic cabinets, Polaroid pictures of the alleged victim with a firearm indicating his head, as well as Ammunity.
He also noticed the application of blood law in different areas of the apartment, where the victim indicated that he was tortured.
Public prosecutors persuade the judge Woeltz contract without sponsorship By noting that Kentucky has a way to escape, including a private plane and a helicopter.
The judge denied the request of Duplyssie’s lawyer to obtain a bond package with a $ 1 million bail, which was asking him to wear a bracelet and to be under the detention of the house with his father in Florida.
The defense was called the “strongly disputed” case, as well as the customer’s participation.
He said that Duplessie has proven that it is not a danger to flying by its willingness to transform itself.
Prosecutors said that the suspects promised the Italian man who would return to Bitcoin, who forced him previously to hand him over, while the suspects threatened to kill his family.
“They all know each other, but this was a kidnapping for about 17 days as they tortured this person. When I say torture, he forced them to take drugs, put his feet in the water, shock his feet and other types of torture for 17 days,” said John Chili, President of NYPD.
Prosecutors say that Duplessie faces at least 15 years in prison, and a maximum of 25 years. They are looking into a previous conviction in Switzerland.
Police said the eight -room house, 10 bathrooms, where the torture that was performed for $ 30,000 was rented to 40,000 dollars per month. He sits again from the sidewalk on the crowded mass on Princess Street in Soho.
It was rented just two months ago, with the latest insertion price at $ 75,000 per month.
Investigators conduct an interview with two servants who were at home and worked with the suspect.
