So the theses that the "professionals" of "organised crime" were "very well prepared" collapse, and give way to the picture of a gang of suburban toughs, apparently of North African origin, who belonged to no special "elite" criminal fraternity of museum thieves of the cinematic kind, but mostly just took advantage of the gross negligence of the Louvre's security service, headed for the first time in the museum's history by a woman, who had in fact justified herself by pointing to the high level of organisation of the robbers.

At any rate, we have learned that the hoodlums of the Paris suburbs are indeed better qualified than the guards of the main museum of Europe.
