A staff member at the French presidential palace Elysée Palace is suspected of stealing silverware and tableware used at events such as state banquets. The stolen items are worth tens of thousands of euros. A Louvre Museum security guard is suspected of seizing them in this case. According to French prosecution sources, the Elysée Palace discovered that silverware and tableware worth 15,000 to 40,000 euros had gone missing. The Sèvres Porcelain Factory, one of the main suppliers of supplies to the Elysée Palace, found some lost items on the auction site. Investigators targeted a silverware manager at the Elysée Palace as the suspect and found plates with the words “French Air Force” printed on it and ashtrays made by Sèvres in his auction website account, which were not marketable items.
