In a significant development in the investigation of the Louvre Museum’s crown jewels theft, five additional individuals have been apprehended, though the stolen treasures remain elusive. Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau disclosed the arrests during a radio interview with RTL on Thursday. The suspects were detained late Wednesday in coordinated operations across Paris and its outskirts, including the Seine-Saint-Denis region. While their identities remain undisclosed, one is believed to have been part of the four-member team responsible for the audacious daylight robbery on October 19. Two other team members, arrested earlier, have been preliminarily charged with criminal conspiracy and theft by an organized gang, with both partially confessing to their roles. Despite extensive searches, the jewels, valued at €88 million ($102 million), have not been recovered. The thieves executed the heist in under eight minutes, using power tools to breach display cases and escape with eight pieces of the French crown jewels. Among the arrested is a 34-year-old Algerian national, detained at Charles de Gaulle Airport while attempting to flee to Algeria. His DNA was found on a scooter used in the getaway. Another suspect, a 39-year-old man, was arrested in Aubervilliers, with his DNA linked to the crime scene. Surveillance footage confirmed the involvement of at least four individuals, who used a truck and scooters to carry out the theft. Prosecutor Beccuau emphasized the unsellable nature of the stolen jewels and urged their return, while French authorities face scrutiny over the Louvre’s security vulnerabilities.
