Reported by AI Image generated by 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.

Dutch prosecutors unveiled a 2,500-year-old golden Helmet of Cotofenesti on Thursday, recovered more than a year after its theft from the Drents Museum. The artefact, along with two of three stolen Dacian gold bracelets, was displayed flanked by police officers. The third bracelet remains missing.
