NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Five more suspects have been arrested in connection with the daring daytime heist of the French crown jewels from the Louvre Museum, French investigators announced Thursday, though the priceless treasures remain missing.
Police carried out the arrests in separate operations across Paris and neighboring areas, including the Seine-Saint-Denis region, prosecutor Laure Beccuau told RTL radio. The identities of the suspects have not been released.
One of the newly arrested individuals is suspected of being part of the four-person team that stormed the Louvre’s Apollo Gallery in broad daylight on Oct. 19, stealing jewels valued at 88 million euros ($102 million) in less than eight minutes.
«Searches last night and overnight did not allow us to find the goods,» Beccuau said.

Two other members of the team were arrested Sunday and given preliminary charges Wednesday of criminal conspiracy and theft committed by an organized gang. Beccuau said both have at least in part recognized their involvement in the heist.
One suspect, a 34-year-old Algerian national living in France since 2010, was arrested at Charles de Gaulle Airport attempting to flee to Algeria on a one-way ticket. He lived in the northern Paris suburb of Aubervilliers and was previously known to police for traffic violations. His DNA was recovered from a scooter used in the getaway.

The second suspect, 39, was arrested at his home in Aubervilliers. He was known to polic for multiple prior thefts. Investigators matched his DNA to a glass display case that held the stolen jewels, as well as to items the thieves left behind, the prosecutor added.

The thieves used a basket lift to scale the museum’s exterior, forced open a window, and used cutting tools to open display cases in the Apollo Gallery. They escaped with eight historic pieces, including:
– A sapphire diadem, necklace, and earring set linked to Queens Marie-Amélie and Hortense
– An emerald necklace and earrings belonging to Empress Marie-Louise, Napoleon’s second wife
– A reliquary brooch
– Empress Eugénie’s diamond diadem and elaborate corsage-bow brooch
Eugénie’s emerald-encrusted crown – set with over 1,300 diamonds – was later found damaged but recoverable outside the museum.
Louvre Director Laurence des Cars acknowledged a «terrible failure» in museum security. However, Beccuau said there is no evidence the theft was an inside job.

In a direct appeal to those holding the missing jewels, Beccuau on Wednesday night warned they are «unsellable» due to their historical significance and urged their return.

Cientos de camiones quedaron varados en Brasil: transportan una cosecha récord de soja y la mayoría está destinada a China

Los camioneros en Brasil enfrentan retrasos inusualmente largos para entregar soja en la terminal portuaria de Miritituba, en la selva amazónica, debido a que una cosecha récord de aproximadamente 180 millones de toneladas métricas desborda la logística en uno de los principales centros de exportación de este cultivo a nivel mundial.
El retraso en el transporte de soja desde el mayor productor y exportador mundial pone de relieve los continuos obstáculos logísticos en la cadena de suministro agrícola brasileña. Gran parte de la cosecha de soja se destina a China.
“Es una vergüenza aquí en Miritituba”, declaró a Reuters el camionero Jeferson Borges da Silva, quien esperó en una fila de 30 km (20 millas) tras recorrer 1.200 km desde Mato Grosso.
“Llevamos dos días haciendo fila, no hay forma de conseguir nada, la gente que no tiene cocina se muere de hambre en la calle, luego se equivocan de dirección y por eso les multan. El tráfico no puede circular, por eso está todo parado. Como pueden ver, la fila tiene más de 30 km. Llevamos dos días aquí y ya nadie sabe qué hacer”, dijo Borges da Silva.
“En cuanto a la protesta indígena en Cargill, creo que afectó un poco a Miritituba, porque los camioneros ganan comisión; si trabajan, ganan; si no trabajan, no. Así que no se quedaron esperando la huelga; todos vinieron a Miritituba, por eso aumentó el número de camiones”, agregó.
Miritituba, un punto crítico de transbordo, maneja aproximadamente 12 millones de toneladas métricas de granos al año, incluyendo soja y maíz. Empresas como Cargill, Bunge BG.N y la brasileña Amaggi operan terminales fluviales donde los cultivos se cargan en barcazas para su transporte río abajo a instalaciones más grandes capaces de llenar buques transoceánicos. El tráfico suele ser intenso en esta época del año.
Para agravar los problemas de la industria, activistas indígenas invadieron este mes una instalación de transbordo de Cargill en Santarém en protesta contra la política gubernamental de dragar y ampliar la capacidad de transporte marítimo a través de la cuenca amazónica.
Por su parte, la chofer de camiones Silvia Apreciada da Silva dijo: “Los puertos no tienen todo ese apoyo, y aquí sufrimos, sufrimos sin duchas, sin comida, sin poder descansar, sin dormir toda la noche, dos o tres días haciendo cola, y eso no está bien, eso no es bueno”.
“El número de camiones ha aumentado muchísimo. ¿Cómo van a caber mil camiones en un patio donde solo caben 500 o 200? Es imposible, y bloquearía la carretera», agregó.
Sus manifestaciones llevaron al gobierno el lunes a revocar un decreto que facilitaba dichas ampliaciones de vías fluviales, lo que generó mayor incertidumbre para los exportadores agrícolas.
El camionero Wellington Bressan afirmó que las protestas indígenas podrían haber contribuido al atasco en Miritituba, ya que los conductores se apresuraron a asegurar los puntos de descarga.
Cargill, que suspendió temporalmente las operaciones en su terminal de Santarém durante las protestas, anunció este jueves que está trabajando para reanudar la actividad.
