Louvre Heist: "Petty Criminals" Behind the Theft
According to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau, the recent jewelry heist at the Louvre was carried out by a local group of "petty criminals" rather than a professional gang.
The incident occurred on 19 October, and so far, four suspects have been charged. Three men in their thirties, with significant criminal records, are accused of gang fraud and criminal association. A 38-year-old woman is charged with "complicity" but has denied any involvement in the theft, and her case may be reassessed.
The suspects charged so far do not appear to be linked to any high-level crime networks.
