维也纳应用美术馆（MAK）一场珠宝展览期间发生盗窃案。两名男子在周四下午砸碎展柜玻璃，盗取一条镶嵌673颗钻石、200克拉的白金项链1。警方已公布监控录像中嫌疑人的照片并展开搜捕，初步评估这两人可能代表犯罪团伙实施"有偿作案"1。
被盗项链曾属于埃及王后纳兹丽，她在1939年女儿法乌齐亚与伊朗皇太子穆罕默德·礼萨·巴列维的婚礼上佩戴过该项链1。这件珠宝在2015年纽约苏富比拍卖行以430万美元售出1。失窃项链来自正在MAK展出的Van Cleef & Arpels珠宝展，该展览汇集超过300件作品，已于6月开展1。
此案反映出欧洲文化机构近期面临的高频率精准盗窃浪潮。去年10月，巴黎卢浮宫在白天遭盗皇冠珠宝价值8800万欧元1；西班牙发生维莱纳宝藏被盗案1；西西里梅西那博物馆被盗15世纪文艺复兴大师作品1；今年意大利北部帕玛一家私人博物馆被盗塞尚、雷诺阿、马蒂斯三幅画作1。
Two men smashed a glass display case and stole a platinum necklace set with 673 diamonds during a jewelry exhibition at Vienna's Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) on Thursday afternoon 1. The stolen piece, which weighs 200 carats, once belonged to Queen Consort Nazli of Egypt, who wore it at her daughter Faouzia's 1939 wedding to Iranian Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi 1.
The necklace was sold at Sotheby's in New York for $4.3 million in 2015 1. Police have released surveillance footage showing the suspects and believe the theft was likely carried out on behalf of an organized criminal network 1. The heist occurred during the Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition at the museum, which features over 300 pieces and opened in June 1.
The theft reflects an alarming surge in precision heists targeting European cultural institutions. In recent months, thieves stole crown jewels worth €88 million from the Louvre in Paris in October of last year; the Vilena treasure was stolen in Spain; Renaissance masterworks disappeared from the Messina Museum in Sicily; and a private museum in Parma, northern Italy, was robbed of paintings by Cézanne, Renoir, and Matisse earlier this year 1.
