Yesterday the Belgian police detained a man in Schaerbeek, Brussels, on the request of the Luxemburg court of justice. The man was questioned the entire day by the Lux. police about a jewel theft in the Grand Ducal palace.
The suspect goes by the initials J.V. and is a visagist from Brussels. Among his clients are Queen Mathilde, Queen Paola and Princess Claire. He also worked for various royal ladies at the wedding of HGD Guillaume.
Earlier this year jewels went missing from the Grand Ducal palace in Luxembourg Ville. The police did not find any traces of forcing entry and they assume the theft must be done by somebody with access to the palace.
J.V. denies he had anything to do with the theft. After questioning he was allowed to go home. The investigation continues. The Lux. newspaper Wort did approach the GD palace. The palace confirmed the theft and the questioning of the suspect. They could not comment more as they did not want to jeopardize the investigation.
According to Wort: "The Luxembourg Public Prosecutor's Office reported that a complaint had already been filed on 22 June 2017, after which an international request for mutual legal assistance was initiated."
