THE HEIST AT THE LOUVRE MUSEUM
The world-famous Louvre Museum, which hosts thousands of visitors every day and displays approximately 35,000 works, was robbed on the morning of October 19 in Paris, the capital of France.
During the heist, 9 items of "priceless" value were stolen from the section known as the Apollo Gallery, where royal jewels are displayed. A crown belonging to Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, which was dropped by the thieves while escaping, was later found outside the museum in damaged condition. The heist, carried out by 4 thieves who escaped with 8 historically valuable jewels, lasted 7 minutes.
The preliminary report prepared by the Court of Accounts stated that there were "continuous" and "significant delays" in providing technical equipment that meets security standards for the museum, which created a security gap.
The monetary value of the stolen items is estimated to be 88 million euros.
