On October 19, local time, an entrance theft in the French Louvre occurred, with a total of eight precious jewelry stolen.

According to the City Express reports, after the incident, the British retired general officer Phillips, who has been engaged in detective work, analyzed the case, said that from the details of the robbery, it should be the notorious pink leopard gang.

According to public information, the Pink Panther is an international criminal gang established in 1999 and its name comes from the 1964 American film "The Pink Panther". The organization has about 200 members and specializes in high-end jewelry and watch robberies. It involves more than 150 cases around the world, with a total amount of more than 250 million euros.

Phillips said suspects are more likely to steal high-value jewelry that is easier to disassemble and hide than difficult targets such as paintings and handicrafts. Given the gang's usual efficiency, it is likely that the Louvre jewelry has been smuggled out of France.

Stolen collections from the Louvre can be demolished in an hour

According to Modern Express, Christopher Marinello, CEO of Art Recovery International, said in an interview with the media that thieves are now most concerned about how to quickly convert these collections into cash and conceal their crimes.

He is worried that for the convenience of selling, thieves will mercilessly decompose these jewels, so that the recognition of the collection will become very low, and it will take less than an hour to decompose these collections. "This is a contest, and the local French police should try to find these collections before they are decomposed."
