How One Man Stole the Louvre's Biggest Masterpiece | Criminal Underworld

This is the untold, true story of the most audacious art heist in modern history, tying into the recent events at the museum. In 1911, a prized masterpiece vanished from the Louvre Museum in Paris, launching a desperate international manhunt. For two long years, the police were completely baffled, unable to connect a single piece of evidence to the culprit. The thief was an unassuming Italian immigrant, Vincenzo Perujia, who hid the stolen painting in a tiny closet in his apartment for over 800 days. This documentary reveals the shocking confluence of factors that drove the crime—from genuine Italian patriotism and deep-seated immigrant resentment to the silent, corrupting effects of lead poisoning. We explore the true nature of the crime, the heartbreaking moment Perujia’s daughter discovered his plot to sell the artwork for a $3 million ransom, and why the police, looking for a mythical art collector, were unable to imagine a "humble workman" could have pulled off the impossible. Uncover the intricate web of criminal enterprises, from notorious mob families to high-stakes heists, as we delve into the compelling stories behind the criminal masterminds and law enforcement efforts to bring them to justice.
