During the nighttime burglary last Sunday, in which an estimated 88 million euros worth of valuable works of art were stolen, the perpetrators may have been passed on secret information about the security system.
According to The Telegraph’s source, digital forensic analysis indicates that a Louvre security employee had contact with suspected members of the gang prior to the theft.

“There is digital evidence showing that a security guard worked with the thieves,” the source told The Telegraph. “Sensitive information was passed on about security, so they knew exactly where the weak spot was.”
No camera surveillance at access point
The thieves entered the museum through a balcony near the Apollo Gallery. Remarkably, there appeared to be no camera surveillance there. Louvre director Laurence des Cars confirmed earlier this week that the only camera in that area was facing the wrong way.
