Louvre Museum jewelry theft: 100 million dollars in royal treasures still missing

Louvre robbery royal jewelry theft Empress Eugénie Paris crime museum security

One year after the high-profile robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris, the stolen royal jewelry, valued at approximately 100 million dollars, remains missing. The theft occurred on October 19, 2025, when suspects disguised as workers used industrial cutting tools to break into the museum and steal eight historic pieces from the French royal and imperial collection.

Among the stolen items are jewelry and brooches that belonged to Empress Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III. While four main suspects are currently in custody awaiting trial, French police have yet to recover the treasures. An extensive investigation involving roughly 100 investigators has conducted searches in the homes of the suspects and their families, including basements, garages, and attics, but without success.

The last known trace of the jewelry was captured on surveillance footage in an underground garage in the Paris suburb of Aubervilliers, where the suspects reside. Experts suggest the jewelry might have been hidden in a wall or buried shortly after the crime, or potentially handed over to an organized criminal group. The incident has sparked renewed debates regarding security protocols in major museums across France and Spain.
