Ex-KHM director Seipel believes that Louvre thieves will demand ransom

“This is such a crazy incident that you couldn’t actually expect it,” said Wilfried Seipel, former director of the Vienna Art History Museum (KHM) on Monday in the Orf Zib2 about the latest theft in the Louvre in Paris. The professionalism of the robbery suggests that it must have been a long-held plan. As far as the Art History Museum is concerned, he can assure that a theft like that of the “Saliera” in 2003 “can no longer happen today.”
