The investigation into the recent robbery at the Louvre has progressed following the confession of two suspects. After 96 hours of interrogation, the two men admitted their participation in the crime, according to police sources. Currently, they face charges of theft and conspiracy, totaling 25 years in prison.
Authorities are still working on the case, which has caused a significant stir both nationally and internationally. It has been suggested that the group involved in the heist may consist of more than four members, although only these two individuals have been formally charged.
Police have emphasized that there was no internal assistance in the theft of the priceless jewels. Employees at the museum were questioned, but no connections to the crime were found, and investigative efforts continue. The whereabouts of the stolen crown jewels remain unknown, but officials express confidence in recovering them.
The public prosecutor has stated, “These jewels are unsellable and are national heritage,” underscoring the cultural significance of the items beyond their monetary value. The estimated economic worth of the stolen jewels is significant, but their symbolic importance to France is even greater. The police have committed to exerting all efforts necessary to retrieve the stolen national treasures.
