Stolen Louvre jewellery worth €88m, prosecutor says

In a daring heist, a set of priceless jewellery worth an estimated €88 million was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris. The incident occurred in broad daylight, raising concerns about the security measures in place at the renowned institution. According to the prosecutor's office, the stolen items include several historic and culturally significant pieces that were part of the museum's collection. Authorities fear that the jewellery may have been dismantled and sold off for parts, making it increasingly difficult to recover the stolen goods. The theft has sparked a widespread investigation, with law enforcement authorities working tirelessly to track down the perpetrators and recover the stolen items. The incident has also raised questions about the need for enhanced security measures at the Louvre and other major museums around the world to prevent such brazen attacks on cultural heritage.
