Thieves have taken £1million worth of gold bars from an Air France plane leading to accusations of an inside job.
The solid gold ingots were part of a multi-million pound cargo of nine cases containing 300 kilograms of gold.
Detectives said that 44 kilos of gold ingots were taken from a plane travelling from the French capital to Zurich last Thursday.
They were being handled by the American Brink's secure transportation company, which regularly transfers valuables on the same route.
The nine cases set off from Charles de Gaulle airport but only seven cases reached the tarmac on the other side, police said.
