Suspects arrested over brazen jewel theft from Paris Louvre museum
CNN1 day
French authorities cracked this case through solid police work and forensic science. The criminals left 150 DNA samples at the scene and booked flights under their real names — amateur hour mistakes that made arrests inevitable. These weren't criminal masterminds but hired muscle from Seine-Saint-Denis working for international buyers.
This brazen heist exposed France's institutional decay and chronic government neglect of national treasures. The Louvre's security was laughably inadequate — cameras pointed the wrong way and broken windows covered with wood like a home repair job. This embarrassing failure symbolizes Macron's crumbling presidency.
