Telegram founder Pavel Durov has expressed his willingness to buy the stolen jewelry from the Louvre Museum and donate it to the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum. Durov criticized the theft, considering it evidence of France’s decline and the government’s distraction. The incident involved the theft of precious jewelry from the “Apollo” hall.
Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram application, revealed his sincere desire to acquire the jewelry that was stolen from the corridors of the ancient Louvre Museum in France, to be later donated to the prestigious “Louvre Abu Dhabi” museum.
Durov wrote on his official account on the “X” platform, saying: “I would be happy to buy the stolen jewelry and return it to the Louvre Museum. I mean the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, of course. No one steals from the Louvre Abu Dhabi.”
In the context of his commentary on this unfortunate incident, Durov, who had previously expressed his opinion on this event, indicated that he was not surprised by the Louvre theft, but rather considered it an additional indicator of the deterioration that France is witnessing, where the government is busy distracting public opinion with “imaginary” threats instead of addressing real dangers.
It is worth noting that the robbery took place on Sunday morning between 9:30 and 9:40, when the perpetrators used a truck equipped with a crane parked next to the Seine River embankment. By using the crane, the thieves were able to reach the second floor, where they smashed the window glass using a portable cutting device, then stormed the “Apollo” hall, which houses the French crown jewels.
According to French authorities, the thieves were able to steal two display cases containing extremely rare pieces of jewelry and fled within minutes.
The French Ministry of Culture announced that the robbery resulted in the loss of eight pieces of jewelry “of priceless heritage value,” which belonged to the queens of France, including Empress Josephine, the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.
