Spanish police said Wednesday they have arrested five people accused of abducting and murdering a man to steal his crypto money while another four were charged in Denmark.

The man and his partner were attacked in April in southern Spain. The man was shot in the leg when he attempted to escape, police said in a statement .

The pair were then "taken to a house where they were held for several hours while the perpetrators tried to access their wallets in order to steal crypto assets."

The woman was freed at midnight and reported the abduction. Police later found her partner's body in a wooded area at Mijas in Malaga province.

Following house searches in Madrid and Malaga, police seized pistols and "numerous items related to the crime," including a pair of trousers marked with blood.
