A dozen days after the burglary that occurred at the Louvre Museum, the affair accelerated. According to information from RTL, five individuals considered to be potential suspects were arrested this Wednesday around 9 p.m.
One in La Courneuve specifies France Info, and the four others near the Jean-Bouin stadium, while they were waiting in the queue of supporters, at the time of the kick-off of the Ligue 1 match between Paris FC and Olympique Lyonnais. The procedure went off without a hitch.
“One of them was one of the objectives of the investigators since we had DNA traces concerning him which linked him, from our point of view, to the theft which was committed”specified Paris prosecutor Laure Beccueau, still speaking to RTL.
The jewelry has still not been found
Certainly the jewelry could not be found, but the investigation continues thanks to these arrests. “ As for the other people who are placed in police custody, they are people who can possibly inform us about how these events unfolded,” she continued.
France Info specifies that one of the suspects would be none other than the driver of one of the scooters which transported the suspected burglars, towards the A6 motorway south of Paris. The other four “would be relatives and possible accomplices who would have helped organize the heist. »
