The claim I am researching is if the Louvre Museum director, Laurence des Cars, offered to resign after 8 precious jewels were successfully robbed from the Louvre during broad daylight. I have heard a lot about the recent jewel heist and a how many people found it unbelievable and almost exciting how quickly and successfully the heist was done. After looking into the news surrounding the event I have seen claims about how the Louvre officials reacted. Multiple sources such as the Associated Press and ABC News have stated how the Louvre director stated it was a "terrible failure" and even offered resignation, but the offer was denied. I am wondering how serious the pressure is on the director and how her superiors are responding. I found that both UPI News and Fox News claim she is facing grilling from the senate but didn't provide any real details to support this claim. The articles instead explained the heist itself rather than give evidence that des Cars was facing any serious backlash or punishment, especially not from the senate who denied her resignation offer. After looking through these articles about the event I couldn't find any sources verifying if the director was really under fire. Critically I assume she would be under some pressure but not enough for her to be greatly reprimanded so I am guessing this articles title claim is an exaggeration.
