The decision aims to protect jewelry by applying enhanced security
Part of the Louvre Museum’s jewelry collection was transferred to the Bank of France after the death with an estimated value of 88 million euros, EFE reported.
The decision to transfer the pieces to the Bank of France aims to protect the jewels by applying enhanced security, according to French news channel BFMTV.
According to the same source, it is not yet known when the jewels will be able to return to the museum.
On Thursday, Paris Public Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said she hopes the four assailants are identified and detained as quickly as possible.
On Sunday, the criminal group took just a few minutes to enter Galeria de Apolo in a goods elevator, quickly break two of the three showcases, installed at the end of 2019 to store the jewelry, and escape with the pieces.
