Louvre Heist: Work of "Petty Criminals"
According to Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau, the recent jewelry heist at the Louvre was carried out by a local group of "petty criminals" rather than a professional gang.
The Louvre was raided on 19 October, and so far, four suspects have been charged. Three men, all in their thirties with criminal records, are accused of gang fraud and criminal association. A 38-year-old woman is charged with "complicity" but tearfully denied any involvement in the theft during a hearing with a judge.
the suspects charged so far do not appear to be linked to any high-level crime networks
A reporter for AFP noted that the woman's case may be reassessed due to her declarations. The prosecutor's statement suggests that the heist was not the work of a sophisticated crime network.
