Source: as European Pravda writes with reference to Le Figaro, Paris prosecutor Laura Becqua said this at a press conference on Wednesday. Details: According to Becqua, the two detained suspects are currently being questioned by a judge to be charged with “theft by an organized group and a criminal group.” “They partially admitted their involvement” in the robbery, she added. The prosecutor also gave details about the detainees. The first, a 34-year-old citizen of Algeria, had previously been prosecuted for theft. The second, 39 years old, worked illegally as a courier and taxi driver and was convicted of aggravated theft. Both suspects were identified by investigators thanks to DNA evidence found on the scooter of one of them and on items found by police after they fled. The prosecutor of Paris also said that the jewelry stolen during the robbery of the Louvre “has not been found.” It will be recalled that the robbery of the museum took place in the morning of October 19 and lasted less than 10 minutes.
