Seeking assistance from Israeli private security companies in tracing stolen cultural relics? Louvre management denies

On the 19th, the French Ministry of Culture announced that nine "unprecedented" artifacts had been stolen on the same day, one of which was found, according to the French news agency, an Israeli private security company said on the 20th that the Louvre Museum had requested its assistance in the pursuit of the stolen artifacts.

Agence France-Presse said that Zwika Navi, CEO of Israel's CGI Group, revealed that the Louvre in Paris has officially entrusted the company to assist in solving the case."The Louvre has specifically asked us to trace the identity of the people involved in the case and recover stolen cultural relics." Navi said that the company had successfully recovered stolen cultural relics from German museums in 2019, which was the reason for the Louvre's decision.

"The Louvre did not hire an Israeli company to investigate the case," Louvre museum management said.

More details were revealed in the Louvre museum robberies on the 19th. Multiple media reports said the museum had been open for half an hour at the time of the incident, and this is a rare case in the daylight. The French Louvre Museum closed shortly after the opening of a portion of the exhibition hall on the 20th. French Justice Minister Darmanin said on the same day that the Louvre had a breach in security, allowing the robbers to enter.

According to the Paris prosecutor's news, at around 9: 30 on the 19th, four masked men came outside the Louvre, divided their labor to operate the lifting device, sneaked into the room from the external balcony of the building, snatched the displayed jewelry, and threatened the security of the museum with an angle grinder. Four perpetrators are still at large. The prosecution initially determined that this was an organized crime. The Louvre was temporarily closed on the 19th.

French President Macron posted on social media on the evening of the 19th, promising to recover cultural relics and bring the perpetrators to justice."Under the auspices of the Paris Prosecutor's Office, all localities are making every effort to achieve this goal." He said that France's "New Renaissance of the Louvre" program launched in January this year will strengthen security measures to "ensure that the heritage that constitutes our memory and culture is preserved and protected."
