Louvre heist suspect’s trial in a separate case expected to be postponed
The suspect accused of the $102 million Louvre Crown Jewels theft faces delayed trial in a separate case due to transfer difficulties, lawyers said.
- Wednesday, lawyers Florian Godest Le Gall and Maxime Cavaillé said Abdoulaye N.'s separate trial is expected to be postponed because transferring him to the Bobigny courthouse is too complex.
- Arrested six days after the Oct. 19 robbery, Abdoulaye N. was taken at his Aubervilliers home and faces preliminary charges of theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy.
- Forensic evidence and footage indicate power tools and a freight lift were used in the break-in; investigators reportedly found DNA evidence on display cases and items, while Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the suspect gave `minimalist` statements and `partially admitted` involvement.
- The suspect had been scheduled to stand trial Wednesday on minor mirror and prison cell door damage charges from the 2019 detention incident, which later cleared him.
- He has a prior 2015 conviction tied to a theft case, and investigators now hold four suspects in custody, including a 37-year-old arrested last week linked to the Louvre probe.
