The prosecutor emphasized that 88 million valuable jewels are not for sale. It is not too late to return the loot, said L. Beccuau. It is said that the robbers who have not yet been caught can hear her. Based on CCTV footage, investigators believe there were four robbers. However, it is possible that more persons are involved in the crime.
The brazen theft from the Louvre took place on October 19. The robbers entered the museum using the retractable ladder of a stolen removals truck and used cutting equipment to break into one of the galleries.
Descending ladders and riding scooters after the heist, they lost a crown studded with diamonds and emeralds, but stole eight items, including an emerald and diamond necklace that Napoleon Bonaparte gave to his wife, Empress Marie Louise.
Two suspects were arrested on October 25. One of them was caught at the Charles-de-Gaulle airport in Paris, the second in the capital region.
