French police have arrested 29 individuals in connection to a Syrian terrorist group that allegedly used Bitcoin (BTC) kiosks to send hundreds of thousands of euro's worth of crypto abroad, local news outlet Capital reported on Tuesday.

As Decrypt explained, French customers can buy special cryptocurrency coupons worth up to €250 (roughly $292)—provided mostly by two local firms, Digycode and Keplerk—in over 30,000 convenience and tobacconist stores across the country. These prepaid coupons can then be cashed in for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies via the providers' platforms.
