Louvre transfers some jewelry to French central bank vaults

[Xinhua News Agency micro-feature] French media recently reported that after the robbery of the Louvre Museum in Paris, some jewelry collections have been transferred to the vault of the Bank of France, the central bank of France.

France Radio RTL quoted several sources as saying that the collections were shipped to the treasury of the French bank, hundreds of meters from the museum, under police escort on the 24th. Details of the collection are unclear, but several royal jewelry exhibited in the Apollo corridor, where the robberies occurred, and some of the jewelry previously exhibited in the museum are being transferred.

The banks have stored the collections in the 26 meters underground treasury, where about 90 percent of France’s gold reserves are stored, and the Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci, who has estimated more than 600 million euros in multi-notebooks, has also been stored in the treasury for years.

At about 9:30 a.m. on the 19th, four hidden people came outside the Louvre, operating the lifting device, diverted into the room from the balcony outside the building and robbed the exhibition jewelry. Within minutes, nine jewelry were stolen, one of which belonged to the queen of Eugene was found by the police. This robbery caused public concern about the Louvre security measures. The Paris prosecutor said the Louvre's economic losses were estimated at 88 million euros.
