In a startling development in the Louvre Museum theft case, two suspects have partially admitted their involvement in the audacious heist that saw €88 million worth of French crown jewels stolen. The men, both in their thirties and with prior criminal records, were apprehended following an extensive investigation that utilized DNA evidence. One suspect was arrested while attempting to board a flight to Algeria, while the other was found to have no immediate plans to leave France, contrary to earlier media reports. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau confirmed that the stolen jewels, including the Parure Marie-Amélie diadème, remain unrecovered, and the possibility of a larger gang involvement beyond the four individuals captured on CCTV is still under investigation. The thieves, who used power tools to break into the museum’s Apollon gallery, managed to escape on scooters before switching to cars. Notably, a crown belonging to Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, was dropped during the escape, and its damage is currently being assessed. Beccuau expressed hope that the stolen artifacts would eventually be returned to the Louvre and the nation. In response to the incident, the Louvre has heightened its security measures and relocated some of its most valuable items to the Bank of France’s highly secure vault, located 26 meters below ground in central Paris.
