Investigators have confirmed that the October 19 theft of €88 million in French crown jewels from the Louvre Museum was an inside job. French authorities reported that digital forensics have uncovered communications between a security staff member and the suspects involved in the heist.
Over 150 physical clues, including DNA evidence from discarded gear, have been collected to support the investigation. The museum, which reopened last week, is now undergoing a comprehensive security audit in response to the national outcry following the theft.
