Keys Lifted From Mailbox Lead to Burglary at French Minister’s Paris Home

A specialized anti-banditry unit is leading the inquiry with no arrests to date.

Overview

  • The Paris prosecutor confirmed the burglary at the 6th arrondissement apartment of Mathieu Lefèvre, minister delegate for the ecological transition.
  • Intruders entered using keys taken from the couple’s mailbox, and investigators found no signs of forced entry.
  • Lefèvre’s partner, who works at the Musée d’Orsay, discovered the issue around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday when the armored door appeared poorly locked.
  • Only jewelry was reported stolen, with an estimated loss of about €10,000, and no sensitive or official documents were missing.
  • Forensic police processed the scene, and the brigade de répression du banditisme took charge despite the loss falling below the usual €50,000 threshold for judicial police involvement.
