Three Algerians were handed jail
sentences of up to 14 years on Wednesday for stealing jewellery worth 500,000
euros from Swiss luxury jeweller Chopard during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
A diamond necklace from Geneva jeweller De Grisogono worth 2.5 million francs was reported stolen from Cannes on Thursday, just days after thieves made off with 1.4 million francs' worth of bling from Chopard, another jeweller from the Swiss city.
