一年前,小偷从巴黎卢浮宫博物馆偷走价值1亿美元的皇冠珠宝,目前仍有四名嫌疑人被关押等待审判,但这些珠宝依然下落不明。去年10月19日的盗窃案中,小偷伪装成工人作案,偷走了八件历史文物,其中包括拿破仑三世妻子欧赫妮的珠宝。

A year after thieves stole $100 million worth of crown jewels from Paris’s Louvre Museum, four suspects remain jailed awaiting trial, but the treasures are still missing. The October 19 heist saw thieves disguised as workers steal eight historic items, including jewellery belonging to Empress Eugenie, Napoleon III’s wife.

卢浮宫博物馆惊天大盗案发生一年后,四名主要嫌疑人仍被关押等待审判,但警方似乎已经没有线索来追踪被盗的皇冠珠宝。

One year after a stunning break-in at the Louvre Museum, the four main suspects are in jail awaiting trial, but police appear to have run out of leads to locate the stolen crown jewels.

去年10月19日,小偷伪装成工人,使用工业圆盘切割机切入博物馆,随后逃走,带走了八件价值约1亿美元的无价之宝。

Thieves disguised as workmen sliced their way into the museum with industrial disc-cutters on October 19 last year before making off with eight irreplaceable items worth an estimated $100 million.

这些珠宝包括拿破仑三世妻子欧赫妮的胸针和皇冠。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙称此次抢劫是对法国历史的攻击。

They include a brooch and crown from Napoleon III's wife Eugenie. President Emmanuel Macron referred to the robbery as an attack on France's history.

接受法新社采访的执法部门和私人文物盗窃机构专家认为,要想找回这些珠宝,最好的机会是如果小偷是单独行动,并将赃物藏匿在巴黎地区某处。

Experts from law enforcement and private art theft agencies who spoke to AFP believe the best chance of recovering the treasures is if the thieves acted alone and stashed their loot somewhere in the Paris region.

“他们可能有一段时间把珠宝藏在墙里或埋起来了,”私人机构艺术追回国际的克里斯托弗·马里内洛对法新社说。四名嫌疑人均在盗窃案发生后十天内被捕。

"There was a short period of time where they may have hidden them in a wall or buried them," Christopher Marinello from Art Recovery International, a private agency, told AFP. All four men were arrested within 10 days of the heist.

审讯 这些19世纪闪耀的宝石最后一次被看到是在卢浮宫北部郊区奥贝维利耶的一个地下储物间的监控录像中,该地区较为粗犷,所有嫌疑人均居住于此。

Interrogation The last known sighting of the glittering 19th-century gems was on CCTV footage recorded in an underground lock-up in the gritty Aubervilliers suburb of northern Paris, where all the suspects live.

由100人组成的调查团队指挥下的大规模搜查行动已经在嫌疑人的住所及其家人住所、地下室、车库和阁楼等处展开,但均未有所获。

Extensive searches directed by the 100-strong investigation team have been carried out at their homes and families' homes, in cellars, garages and attics -- all to no avail.

著名荷兰私人文物侦探亚瑟·布兰德表示,如果珠宝被藏匿或交给“赃物贩”保管,仍有可能其中一名嫌疑人为了获得较轻的刑罚而供认。

If the jewels have been hidden or handed to a "fence" for safekeeping, there is still a chance that one of the suspects confesses in exchange for a more lenient sentence, said renowned Dutch private art detective Arthur Brand.

“法国警方非常专业,他们知道如何审讯,他们知道如何施压(某人),”他对法新社说。

"The French police are very professional, they know how to interrogate, they know how to put pressure on (someone)," he told AFP.

“只需要一个人开口,在许多情况下,就会有人开口。”拆解更令人担忧的情况是,该团伙是在有组织犯罪的头目或中间人的指使下行事,完成抢劫后他们将珠宝交给了对方。

"You only need one to talk, and in many cases, one talks." Dismantling The more worrying scenario is that the gang was acting on orders from a ringleader or middleman with links to organised crime -- to whom they handed the jewels once they had finished their smash-and-grab.

“有组织犯罪的力量不仅在于提供犯罪经验,还在于拥有能够接手物品并将其出售的人,”国际刑警组织被盗艺术品部门负责人科拉多·卡泰西说。

"The power of organised crime is not only to bring the experience to commit a crime, but also to have people to take the objects and sell them," said Corrado Catesi, head of the stolen art unit at international police body Interpol.

在被拘留期间,两名嫌疑人声称团伙头目是他们团队的一部分,但调查人员对此持怀疑态度,一位熟悉案件的消息人士近日对法新社透露了这一情况。

In custody, two of the suspects have claimed a ringleader was part of their team, which is being treated with scepticism by investigators, a source close to the case told AFP recently.

最坏的情况是,珠宝要么被运出法国,要么被送到地下珠宝业的当地联系人那里。

The worst-case scenario is that the jewels were transported either out of France or to a local contact in the underground precious stones business.

“主要是钻石,所以他们必须拆解、重新切割并出售。如果他们要去一个地方,那就是安特卫普,”布兰德说,指的是比利时钻石中心。马里内洛列出了特拉维夫和印度作为其他可能的目的地。

"It's mainly diamonds, so they have to dismantle them, recut them and sell them. If they would go to one place, it would be Antwerp," said Brand, referring to the Belgian diamond hub. Marinello lists Tel Aviv and India as other possible destinations.

77钻石公司(欧洲最大的在线钻石珠宝商)董事总经理托比亚斯·科尔明德对法新社表示:“一旦重新切割,重新进入合法供应链以供批发商或零售商购买,这一过程相当直接。”

Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, Europe's largest online diamond jeweller, told AFP that "once recut, re-entering the legitimate supply chain to be bought by wholesalers or retailers is fairly straightforward".

“除非一颗钻石具有极其独特的内部包裹体,否则即使是像GIA这样的顶级钻石实验室也难以将刚抛光的钻石标记为被盗财产,”他说。“仍有希望”但如果珠宝落入有组织犯罪集团之手,似乎仍有一些希望的依据。

"Unless a stone possessed ultra-distinctive internal inclusions, even top diamond laboratories like the GIA would struggle to flag a freshly polished diamond as stolen property," he said. 'Still a chance' But if the jewels fell into the hands of an organised crime group, there appears to be still some grounds for hope.

布兰德提到了几起被盗珠宝被追回的案例,特别是2022年荷兰TEFAF艺术博览会遭袭击后,以及2019年德国德雷斯登格吕内斯 Gewölbe博物馆被盗后。

Brand referred to several cases where stolen jewels were recovered, notably after a raid on the TEFAF art fair in the Netherlands in 2022 or the break-in at the Gruenes Gewoelbe museum in Dresden, Germany, in 2019.

“虽然我们都认为被盗的大部分黄金、白银和钻石永远找不回来,但在某些情况下,我们确实能够找回它们,”他解释道。

"Although we all think that most of the gold, silver and diamonds that get stolen, we never see them back, in some cases, we do," he explained.

“我们仍然有机会再次看到卢浮宫的珠宝,也可能有人会在法庭审判前透露消息。” 这些珠宝仍被列入国际刑警组织被盗艺术品数据库中的失踪物品名单。

"There is still a chance that we will see the Louvre jewels again and it might be that somebody talks before the court case." The jewels remain listed as missing in Interpol's database of stolen artworks.

对全球范围内调查的分析显示,物品“可能需要三个月到40年才能被追回”,凯特西对法新社表示。

Analysis of investigations around the world reveals that objects "can take from three months to 40 years to be recovered", Catesi told AFP.
