French prosecutors said on 23 October that investigators were analyzing multiple DNA samples and fingerprints to track the jewelry theft at the Louvre Museum in Paris last weekend.

Paris prosecutor Lore Becqueau told French media that as many as "150 DNA samples, fingerprints and other traces" had been taken. She said that the results of sample analysis will be available in the next few days. If the suspect has a criminal history, clues can be found through information comparison.

At around 9: 30 on the 19th, four masked men came outside the Louvre, divided their labor and cooperated to operate the lifting device, sneaked into the room from the external balcony of the building, and snatched the displayed jewelry. Within minutes, nine pieces of jewelry were robbed, and one of the crowns belonging to Queen Eugenie has been found by the police. Paris prosecutors said that the economic losses caused by the robbery of the Louvre were estimated to be 88 million euros.

He said public and private surveillance videos could help investigators track suspects in ¡°Paris and the surrounding area.¡±

The person in charge of Drouot Auction House in France is worried that because these jewels "can't be sold on the market as they are", the suspect may split them and sell them.

The robbery sparked public discussion in France about the security situation of public cultural institutions. French President Macron requested on the 22nd to speed up the implementation of a number of security measures at the Louvre Museum. Laurence Decars, director of the Louvre Museum, admitted on the same day that the Louvre security system had problems such as weak periphery, long-term insufficient investment and delayed upgrades, and proposed preliminary rectification measures.
