In France, three men, including the Elysee Palace's silverware keeper, Thomas M, are set to stand trial for allegedly stealing porcelain and tableware worth between 15,000 and 40,000 euros. The Elysee Palace reported the disappearance of the items, used for state dinners, leading to an investigation. Thomas M and his partner, Damien G, were arrested on suspicion of theft, while Ghislain M was arrested for allegedly receiving stolen goods. Investigators discovered approximately 100 objects in Thomas M’s locker, vehicle, and home, including items he was reportedly selling online. The suspects face charges of jointly stealing moveable property listed as part of the national heritage, which carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a 150,000-euro fine.
