One Year After Louvre Heist, Where Are the Missing Jewels?
Investigators say the stolen crown jewels may have been dismantled or moved abroad, while 11 suspects have been detained and most pieces remain missing.
- Today, one year after the heist, eight 19th-century jewels worth $102 million remain missing from the Louvre. The pieces are listed in Interpol's database of stolen artworks despite an extensive investigation.
- Thieves disguised as workmen sliced into the Apollo Gallery using industrial disc-cutters one year ago. They removed eight items, including the tiara belonging to Empress Eugenie, before fleeing on scooters.
- Two suspects admitted they were recruited by an unnamed client, while experts warn diamonds are often recut to bypass detection in the international supply chain. Eleven suspects have been detained in total.
- Following security failures, new director Christophe Leribault initiated a $90 million security overhaul at the museum. The French government implemented a 33-point national security plan to protect vulnerable sites across France.
- Art detective Arthur Brand suggests a suspect's confession could still lead to recovery if the jewels were not sold abroad. Interpol's Corrado Catesi notes that high-value investigations can take from three months to 40 years.
