More than two weeks after the spectacular burglary of eight imperial jewels at the Louvre, a damning report from the Cour des comptes highlights financial and security failures. Covering 2018-2024, the document questions the museum's management and its ambitious renovation project launched by Emmanuel Macron. Experts ponder the fate of the loot estimated at 88 million euros.
Senators from the Socialist Party, shocked by Amélie de Montchalin's appointment to head the Cour des comptes, have filed a bill to regulate such nominations. The measure aims to select the first president from internal staff and cap the term at nine years.
