Six mois après le casse du Louvre, un « Complément d’enquête » fait le point, avec des images inédites diffusées ce soir sur France 2
On October 19, 2025, eight historic and priceless jewels were stolen from the Galerie d'Apollon at the Louvre Museum in Paris in just over three minutes, using a hoist and an angle grinder. Six months later, the French investigative program "Complément d'enquête" airs a 50-minute documentary titled "Musée du Louvre : dans les coulisses du casse du siècle" on France 2, featuring exclusive surveillance footage, interviews with guards, police, experts, and ministers, and new details about the four suspects arrested within weeks.
The documentary, while not revealing major new facts, provides a comprehensive synthesis of the heist and the security failures at the world's largest museum. It reconstructs the thieves' route via CCTV, shows the damaged display cases still untouched, and explores the suspects' backgrounds—including Niakate Abdoulaye, a repeat jewelry thief. The case highlights persistent vulnerabilities in museum security and raises questions about how such a brazen theft could occur in a national treasure.
