A staff member at France's Élysée Palace has been arrested for allegedly stealing valuable tableware. The silver steward is accused of taking items from the official residence of the French president.
He was arrested last week alongside two suspected accomplices. Police say the group tried to sell the stolen goods on online auction sites like Vinted. The estimated value of the missing items is as high as €40,000.
The arrest is part of a broader pattern of thefts from high-profile French institutions. The investigation is ongoing.
