Here then are your headlines. It is, it must be said, a spectacular acceleration. Suspects, as I was telling you, were therefore arrested last night, Saturday, as part of the investigation into the theft. Spectacular, which occurred at the Louvre Museum last week, one of the two men arrested at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport, while he was preparing to take a flight to Algeria, according to some media. The second, for his part, would have been arrested in Sani. According to various media outlets, the two men were already known to the police and judicial services for burglaries. They were therefore placed in police custody at the premises of the anti-gang brigade. And these arrests come after, as I was telling you, a week of investigation. More than 100 police officers were mobilized to try to find the suspects and the jewels worth 88 million euros, which for the moment have still not been found.
Look, a week after the burglary, it's the new tourist attraction. It's here, it's this window behind the balcony. It happened last Sunday, almost a week ago. This guide actually makes it an unmissable point on her tour, and under the windows of the Apollo Gallery, curious people from all over the world are gathering. It would be nice to find some diamonds they forgot or dropped on their way out. Jewels actively sought by investigators. They are a hundred police officers mobilized. In the meantime, a large part of the Louvre's jewelry collections have been transferred to the vaults of the Banque de France. An ultra-secure fortress. It was designed between the two world wars, after the bombing of the Banque de France during the First World War. And to protect the gold, a reinforced enclosure was built, uh, 20 meters deep.
The director of the Louvre had proposed opening a police station inside the museum. This morning, in an interview given to La Tribune Dimanche, the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nouet, opposed it. And it should be noted, to be completely thorough, that the public prosecutor of Paris, for her part, deplores a hasty disclosure of information about the investigation and its arrests. It should also be noted, according to Le Figaro, another French media outlet, that the second suspect arrested intended to flee to Mali. We will of course return to this in more detail in our upcoming editions.
