Damage from Louvre jewelry heist estimated at 88 million euros, Paris prosecutor says

PARIS: Thieves who staged a daring daylight heist at the Louvre museum in Paris made off with jewels worth an estimated 88 million euros ($102.63 million), Paris public prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Tuesday. “It is important to remember that this damage is an economic damage, but it is nothing compared to the historical damage caused by this theft,” the prosecutor told RTL radio. In what some politicians branded a national humiliation, four people broke into the Louvre on Sunday using a crane to smash an upstairs window.
