The investigators reportedly believe one of the museum’s security guards may have colluded with the thieves
French detectives investigating the robbery of the Louvre Museum have uncovered evidence pointing to an inside job, The Telegraph reported on Saturday, citing sources close to the investigation.
Last week, four masked men with a chainsaw broke into the iconic Paris art museum, making off with eight pieces of France’s crown jewels worth about $102 million.
According to The Telegraph, investigators discovered messages and recordings proving that a museum’s employees had been in contact with suspected gang members before the raid.
“We have found digital forensic evidence that shows there was cooperation with one of the museum’s security guards and the thieves,” a source told the paper.
“Sensitive information was passed on about the museum’s security, which is how they were aware of the breach.”
