French police have dismantled a "large-scale" ticket fraud network at the Louvre in Paris, the museum said Thursday. The operation took place on Tuesday following "a report from the Louvre Museum," a spokeswoman for the world-famous institution told Agence France-Presse.
"Based on the information available to the museum, we suspect the existence of a network organizing large-scale fraud," she added. She said the world's most visited museum was facing "a rise and diversification in ticketing fraud" and has, in response, implemented a "structured" anti-fraud plan in cooperation with its staff and the police.
