Four suspects in foiled BofA Paris bombing put in pre-trial detention

Four suspects — one adult and three minors — have been placed in pre-trial detention after authorities foiled a March bomb attack on Bank of America's Paris office. Officials say the plot may be linked to a pro‑Iranian group; the incident elevates operational, reputational and security risks for Bank of America's French operations but is unlikely to trigger material near-term market moves.
