The broken crown of Empress Eugenie, the wife of French Emperor Napoleon III, was found near the Louvre after the museum was looted. Le Parisien writes about this. "One of the stolen jewelry was found near the museum. According to preliminary data, it is the empress's crown, which is broken," the article states.
It should be noted that the museum was robbed on the morning of October 19. This was announced by French Minister of Cultural Affairs Rashida Dati, who visited the museum. He noted that investigative operations are being carried out at the scene, and there were no casualties during the robbery.
According to Le Parisien, criminals also stole 9 pieces of gold and broken jewelry from the collection of Empress Josephine of France.
It is noteworthy that the gang that robbed the Louvre did not take the precious "Regent" diamond.
The robbery of the Louvre was committed by a group of four criminals, writes Parisien.
