Gang of retirees accused of kidnapping and torturing financial advisor who lost €2m of their savings:

The pensioners, nicknamed the "Geritol Gang" by police after an arthritis drug, face up to 15 years in jail if found guilty of subjecting German-American James Amburn to the alleged four-day ordeal.

Yeah, it's also a story that appears to be German that lacks any of the critical identifying information, so is likely stolen from some satire site anyway. I still want it to be true.
