The Louvre Museum has reportedly lost an estimated $10.6 million over the past decade due to a sophisticated fraud scheme, with nine individuals now in custody.
According to prosecutors, the world-renowned Parisian museum has been defrauded of approximately 10 million euros—roughly $10.6 million USD—over ten years. The unfolding scandal highlights the challenges even the most iconic institutions face in safeguarding their assets.
The alleged scheme involved tour guides reusing the same tickets for multiple groups of visitors and bribing staff to bypass ticket controls. Authorities are also investigating whether a similar operation was used at the Palace of Versailles, suggesting the fraud may be more widespread.
