According to prosecutor Lor Becco, while on the run, the robbers will not be able to benefit from their actions if they decide to melt down the stolen items. Four participants in the robbery have already been identified, and the possibility of accomplices inside the museum cannot be ruled out.
Culture Minister Rashida Dati reported that the museum's security system functioned flawlessly: the alarm was triggered, and the guards acted according to established protocols. However, she suggested reviewing the measures for street surveillance, as the robbers managed to enter through a window using a construction lift left by the wall of the Louvre. Museum unions expressed dissatisfaction, noting that over the past ten years, the number of security personnel has decreased by 25%, and the budget has been reallocated, negatively affecting technical upgrades.
Meanwhile, Charlie Hebdo presented a cover with the headline "How far will humiliation go?", depicting two thieves carrying away the Louvre Pyramid.
