French prosecutor sends message to robbers: Don't melt jewelry, you'll lose its value
Two days after the spectacular robbery at the world's most famous museum, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau has revealed that the estimated damage from the theft at the Louvre amounts to 88 million euros. But as she warned, this figure " is nothing compared to the historical and symbolic damage " that this event has caused.
In an interview with RTL, Beccuau said he hopes the robbers " think carefully before destroying these objects ," warning that melting the jewelry would not bring them any real benefit, as they are well-known and unsellable on the international black market.
The investigation is underway at maximum intensity. A group of over 100 investigators has been mobilized in Paris, while no one has been arrested yet. Authorities are looking for the four perpetrators, who managed to escape with eight precious objects of the French crown. But investigators suspect that behind them lies a wider network of collaborators who helped in the planning and execution of this operation of rare proportions.
An interesting detail from the investigation is the fact that the mechanical crane that was used to penetrate the first floor of the museum was obtained through a “fake lease”, using the excuse of a “house move”. An employee of the company that released the vehicle was later confronted by two threatening individuals, although no violence was used against him. The case is now part of the investigation file.
Regarding the possibility of internal collaboration, prosecutor Beccuau did not rule it out: " We can neither say yes nor no at this stage ."
The images of the robbery, which have gone viral around the world, have raised a storm of public reactions and ignited a political debate in France over security in museum institutions, questioning not only the technical security measures at the Louvre, but also the responsibility of state structures for protecting national heritage.
The Louvre incident is no longer just a spectacular criminal act, it has become an institutional crisis, which is shaking France's authority over the preservation of historical and artistic treasures. /Le Parisien
