Cryptocurrency-related kidnapping near Rennes: Four suspects aged 17 to 20 arrested

Four suspects aged 17 to 20 have been charged in France after a family was held captive near Rennes in a home invasion targeting an absent cryptocurrency holder. The victim, who was not home at the time, is a crypto owner, and the attackers apparently sought access to his digital assets. The four young suspects were placed under formal investigation following their arrests. The case highlights the growing trend of physical attacks on crypto holders, whose wealth is often stored digitally and can be harder to seize than cash or bank funds. What to watch next: whether more suspects are identified and how courts handle the rising wave of "wrench attacks" against crypto owners in France.
