Internal worker of the Louvre hides in a luxury yacht for 76 million pounds

Diving in the sea near the Louvre attracted 76 million pounds of sterling when it was revealed that the thieves, apparently, acted with the help of a museum employee. One of the guards, as it turned out, communicated with the thieves, which allowed them access to the system without security. Two men were detained at the Charles de Gaulle and Orly aerodromes in Paris.

The performance of the marching band of the Louvre Museum in Paris was attended by serious prizes, including, as noted by The Telegraph, valuable documents that were handed over to one of the employees of the organization, which provided me access to the data system without permission. "Information about the measures taken by the intruders, who were able to penetrate the zone of exponents," said the sources of the investigation, noting that the documents include a list and audio recordings of the personal details of the perpetrators, which is a clear violation of the law. It is possible that the grave robbers, not having committed a crime in the museum, used a forklift, loaded into a cargo machine, delivering a group of technical workers. The incident occurred on October 19, 2024, as a result of which eight historical monuments were damaged. The authorities established that one of the detained persons was trying to escape through Charles de Gaulle Airport, while the other was arrested in Paris. We are investigating the incident under the provisions of the Law on the Press and the Law on the Protection of Cultural Heritage. The museum was built for visitors, only the relevant public organizations and the management of the state are responsible for the safety of the premises.
