She added that the profiles of the four detained suspects, one of whom is the girlfriend of one of them, do not match the characteristics of professional criminals.
According to her, all the detainees are locals living in Seine-Saint-Denis, a low-income area in the north of Paris.
At the moment, three out of the four suspects have already been arrested, while one of them is still at large. They may have had accomplices.
It is worth noting that the robbery of the Louvre took place on October 19. The criminals arrived on scooters and used a construction basket from a truck to access the Apollo Gallery, where they broke into two display cases.
Jewelry from the collection of Empress Marie-Louise and three items belonging to Queen Maria-Amalia and Dutch Queen Hortense de Beauharnais were stolen from the museum. Several exhibits from the collection of Empress Eugenie also went missing.
The preliminary estimate of the damage from this robbery is 88 million euros.
