Overview
- Three months after the October 19 theft, the crown jewels remain missing despite mounting forensic and video evidence.
- CCTV tracked two scooters and a white Berlingo into an underground parking in Aubervilliers, where vehicles were stored and later removed before searches occurred.
- A bike-storage unit in La Courneuve yielded cutting tools, a signal detector, a jammer, locksmith gear and gold-testing touchstones, indicating professional preparation.
- Investigators linked the La Courneuve site through wifi data and DNA traces attributed to Slimane K., helping map the suspects’ movements after the heist.
- Abdoulaye N., Ayed G., Slimane K. and Rachid H. are being questioned this week by an investigating judge, as authorities also examine whether the group acted without an outside organizer.
