Louvre Jewel Heist Sparks Outrage as Thieves Escape With Royal Treasures France’s most famous museum is under scrutiny after thieves stole eight pieces of historic jewellery from the Louvre’s Gallery of Apollo in a rapid, well-planned heist. The stolen items include diadems, earrings, and necklaces from the 19th century — treasures once belonging to French empresses. While two pieces were found near the scene, authorities fear the others will be dismantled for resale. President Macron denounced the robbery as “a wound to the French soul.” The museum remains closed while 60 investigators pursue leads. INSIDER | UK
