00:00How the internet went wild for fake news about the Louvre heist

00:03It was the heist that shocked the French nation.

00:09On 19th October, a team of thieves brazenly broke into the Louvre museum,

00:14stealing jewels worth approximately 88 million euros in broad daylight.

00:18As of every major news story, internet users took to social media platforms to comment and speculate,

00:23while others used the opportunity to peddle disinformation and false allegations.

00:27One narrative blamed Russian nationals for the heist,

00:30alleging that Russian passports had been found inside the museum.

00:34However, the Paris prosecutor's office told The Cube that claims that Russian passports

00:38were discovered at the Louvre were completely fake.

00:40Other users purported that stolen jewellery belonging to Queen Marie Amélie

00:44was found for sale on a Russian website, directing ex-users to Telegram for more information.

00:50But the platform itself posted a statement saying that the listing was a joke,

00:53adding that the listing has since been deleted.

00:55Online users have also shared pictures of suspects, such as this one.

01:00In reality, this man's picture was shared on a website listing arrests in the US.

01:04He was arrested in 2010 for a burglary in Florida,

01:08and has nothing to do with the heist,

01:10taking to social media to laugh about the claims.

01:13While there have been media reports about who some of the suspects are,

01:16their headshots have not been released.

01:17In another online frenzy, users shared images of a man bearing a fedora,

01:21who they claim to be the detective, working on the Louvre case.

01:24Although the individual may look like the archetype of a Sherlock Holmes-type detective,

01:29in fact, he was a passer-by who had nothing to do with the case.

01:32The 15-year-old had come to visit the Louvre with his grandparents,

01:35but had no idea that there had been a heist earlier that day.

01:38While the investigation remains ongoing,

01:40France's Ministry of Culture has already stated

01:42that the museum chronically underestimated the risks of theft.
