[Breakthrough in Louvre Heist: Five New Suspects Arrested] ⑴ French police have arrested five new suspects in connection with the Louvre heist, indicating the criminal network is larger than initially thought. ⑵ Prosecutors have confirmed that one of the arrested individuals was directly involved in the theft, and DNA evidence has established a criminal link. ⑶ The remaining arrestees may provide crucial information regarding the specific details of the crime. ⑷ To date, three of the four direct perpetrators have been detained, including a 34-year-old Algerian arrested at Charles de Gaulle Airport. ⑸ The criminals used a truck-mounted lift to breach upper-level exhibition halls and used an angle grinder to damage balcony windows and jewelry display cases. ⑹ Police are making every effort to recover French royal and Napoleonic-era jewelry valued at $102 million. ⑺ Prosecutors emphasize that the jewelry is difficult to sell due to its globally known status as stolen goods, but it may be disassembled and reconstructed to conceal its origin. ⑻ Nighttime raids have not yet recovered the stolen artworks; the recovery efforts are ongoing.
