Named the cost of damage from the Louvre robbery

The damage from the Louvre robbery is estimated at €88 million, said Paris Prosecutor Laure Beco. This was reported by TASS, citing AFP.

The publication notes that the damage assessment was made by the museum itself.

On the morning of October 19, the Louvre was attacked by robbers who broke into the Apollo Gallery and stole nine pieces of jewelry. The crown of Empress Eugenie - wife of Napoleon III - has already been found. The regalia was lying broken on the street. The perpetrators are being sought.

One of the stolen exhibits is the garter of Empress Eugenie de Montijo. The museum acquired it for €6.72 million. The list of missing items compiled by the French Ministry of Culture also includes a tiara, necklace and earring that belonged successively to the Dutch Queen Hortense de Beauharnais and French Queen Marie Amelie, an emerald necklace and a pair of earrings belonging to French Empress Marie-Louise, and a "reliquary brooch."
