Louvre ticketing scam drains €10m as nine indicted in Paris

Nine people were indicted in a decade-long €10 million ticketing scam at the Louvre, involving ticket reuse by guides and splitting groups to dodge controls; cash seizures were made and two Louvre employees were among the suspects, with a broader investigation potentially linked to Versailles; the probe began after the Louvre filed a complaint in 2024 and is ongoing.
