French crypto family targeted in second armed home invasion in six months
- —Three suspects aged 19, 30 and 38 were arrested; their car had been reported stolen in Marseille
- —The first attack on April 11, 2026 involved a man posing as a Chronopost courier who threatened the family with a handgun
- —A shot was fired during the struggle with the first attacker; no one was injured
- —Crypto-related home invasions continue in France despite Interior Ministry plans announced since May 2026
Why it matters: A rising wave of physical attacks on crypto holders in France is increasing pressure on regulators and raising the risks of publicly disclosing digital asset wealth.
