French authorities have detained five more individuals in connection with the audacious theft of historic jewels from Louvre Museum on October 19, bringing the total arrests to seven. Laure Beccuau, the Paris public prosecutor, noted that one suspect was matched to the crime scene by DNA evidence. Despite the arrests, the priceless crown-jewels — valued at approximately €88 million ($102 million) — remain missing, prompting fears the gemstones may have been dismantled or smuggled abroad. The investigation, involving over 100 officers and intensive forensic work, continues as security lapses at the museum come under severe scrutiny. (PC: Reuters)
