On this episode of Pop Goes The Legal, Lee is joined by renowned former FBI Special Agent and the nation’s leading expert in art and cultural property crime, Robert Wittman to talk about the Louvre Heist that occurred on October 19, 2025. Robert breaks down the heist, what went according to plan and what didn't, as well as his best guess as to when the thieves will be caught. As a bonus, we get a fascinating look into the career of Robert himself, who recovered more than $300 million worth of stolen art and historical treasures, helped found the FBI’s Art Crime Team, and went undercover into secret art theft and smuggling rings across the globe.
