- Prosecutors vowed to continue the search, with Laure Beccuau saying, `Our main objective is still to recover the jewellery`; a 38‑year‑old woman charged as an accomplice was released under judicial supervision pending trial.
- With motive unclear, eight missing items include an emerald‑and‑diamond necklace given by Napoleon I to Empress Marie‑Louise, and investigators say they have no signals indicating the jewellery crossed borders.
