wire co-founder Pavel Durov has offered to purchase the daniel chester french coronate jewels stolen from the louvre museum.
On Sunday, four thieves broke into Paris’ most famous museum in broad daylight and ran off with eight artifacts, including necklaces, earrings, and a tiara owned by 19th-century royals.
“Happy to buy the stolen jewelry and donate it back to the Louvre. I mean Louvre Abu Dhabi, of course; no one steals from Louvre Abu Dhabi,” the Russian-born tech entrepreneur, who lives in Dubai, wrote on X on Tuesday.
Opened in 2017, the Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island is a joint project between France and the UAE.
Durov said he was “not at all surprised” by the Paris heist. “It’s another sad sign of the decline of a once-great country, where the government has perfected the art of distracting people with phantom threats instead of confronting the real ones,” he wrote.

Durov has previously accused the French government of trying to force him to impose political censorship on Telegram. Last year, he was briefly detained at a Paris airport on charges of failing to remove illegal content from his platform and released on bail.
