Rapporterad av AI Bild genererad av AI
One month after the spectacular burglary at the Louvre museum, the fourth presumed commando member was arrested on Tuesday, November 25, along with three other suspects. Meanwhile, a 2018 security audit already identified the used balcony as a major vulnerability point. The stolen jewels, valued at an estimated 88 million euros, remain unrecovered.
A dirty water leak on November 26 damaged 300 to 400 books in the Louvre's Egyptian Antiquities library. These 19th and 20th-century scientific documents, used by researchers, show no irremediable losses. The incident highlights the museum's aging infrastructure issues.
