French authorities have made significant progress in the investigation of the audacious theft of imperial jewels from the Louvre Museum last month. On Tuesday, four additional individuals were apprehended in connection with the high-profile heist, as announced by Paris’s chief prosecutor, Laure Beccuau. The suspects include two men aged 38 and 39, and two women aged 31 and 40, all hailing from the Paris region. This latest development follows the earlier charges brought against four other individuals linked to the October 19 robbery. The daring theft saw a four-member gang execute a meticulously planned operation in broad daylight, making off with jewelry valued at an estimated $102 million in just seven minutes. The thieves utilized a moving truck equipped with a ladder to access the museum’s Apollo Gallery, which houses the French crown jewels. They ascended in a bucket, shattered a window, and employed angle grinders to breach glass display cases containing the priceless treasures. Among the items stolen was an emerald-and-diamond necklace gifted by Napoleon I to his second wife, Empress Marie-Louise. However, a diamond-and-emerald crown belonging to Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, was dropped during their escape. Despite extensive efforts, the stolen jewels remain unrecovered, and the investigation continues.
