Russian billionaire wants to buy jewels from the Louvre for Abu Dhabi: what is known.

Proposal from the Russian businessman

According to The Sun: The Russian billionaire in the technology sector has proposed to return stolen French jewels to the Louvre, but in Abu Dhabi. Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, believes that these treasures will be much better protected in the United Arab Emirates than in poorly secured France.

“The stolen treasures will be significantly better protected in the UAE than in poorly secured France.”

The initiative arose after a brazen robbery that seriously highlighted the issues of protecting cultural values in France.

The return of the jewels to the Louvre in this format could become an important step in restoring trust in the cultural heritage protection system in France. Despite all the costs associated with their transportation and security, the proposed solution has elicited mixed reactions in the cultural environment. Events may unfold in various directions, and it is important to monitor their progress.
