Where are the jewels? Five more suspects in the Louvre robbery arrested in France 0 11

The jewels, estimated to be worth a total of $88 million, have still not been found.

The Paris prosecutor has not yet explained the exact role each suspect played in the robbery. Police arrested them on the evening before in the 16th arrondissement of Paris and the nearby suburbs. One of those detained is referred to as a possible "commando" of the operation.

A total of seven people have been arrested in connection with the Louvre robbery - two of them have partially confessed to their guilt.

"I would say that, like any investigation, this resembles the thread of Ariadne," said Laura Bekkiou on Thursday morning, "I want to make it very clear to those who currently have the jewels that cooperation with the investigation will certainly be taken into account during sentencing."

As previously reported, the Louvre was attacked by robbers on the morning of October 19. Four masked men entered the museum and stole nine valuable items from the imperial collection - among them, jewelry belonging to Napoleon and his wife Josephine. Two of the criminals ascended to the Apollo Gallery using a cherry picker, while the other two waited outside and helped them escape on scooters.

After the robbery, museum director Laurence de Car resigned, but French President Emmanuel Macron did not accept her resignation. The damage is estimated at around €88 million. Part of the Louvre's jewelry collection was transported under escort to the storage facilities of the Bank of France for increased security.

Later, two people were arrested in France, suspected of the audacious Louvre robbery. One of them was caught on the evening of October 25 at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport as he was about to fly to Algeria. The second was found in the Saint-Denis area.
