​

French law enforcement agencies have been investigating wrench attacks and found that some of the alleged offenders were involved in multiple incidents.

At least 88 people, including 10 minors, have been indicted in connection with alleged wrench attacks against crypto owners in France, according to Vanessa Perrée, the country’s national prosecutor for organized crime.

Perrée said in a statement on Friday that 75 of the alleged offenders are being held in pre-trial detention, with the arrests related to 12 cases currently under investigation...

Wrench attacks involve the use of physical force to gain access to a victim’s crypto wallet and have taken the form of home invasions, kidnappings and other extortion attempts.

Just as Telegram founder Pavel Durov suggested Friday that the rise in attacks in France was due to the alleged misuse of crypto investors’ tax data by a former tax official which is a big accusation that French authorities should seriously look into. we should be glad that finally a road to justice of the victims are now being carried out by the government and it should do everything they can to stop this menace for the peace of mind of those who are into cryptocurrency right there in France.


If there would be a bet on Polymarket if wrench attacks would go down or up from here on until the end of the year, which side would you lay down your money (just assuming)?
