Woman charged after 1.5m euros of gold stolen from Paris museum

A woman has been charged after approximately 1.5 million euros worth of gold was stolen from a museum in Paris, France. Prosecutors allege that the woman was arrested in Barcelona, Spain, with around a kilogram of melted-down gold in her possession. The theft occurred at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme (Museum of Jewish Art and History) in Paris. The stolen gold was part of the museum's collection and was valued at an estimated 1.5 million euros. Authorities have not released the name of the suspect, but she has been charged in connection with the theft. The investigation is ongoing, and it remains unclear how the woman was able to gain access to the museum and steal the valuable gold artifacts. The incident has raised concerns about the security measures in place at the museum and the need for stricter protocols to protect cultural heritage sites from such thefts. The recovery of the melted-down gold is a significant development in the case, and further details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
