Unusual theft in Paris/ 6 Georgians under indictment, Pushkin's works

Six Georgian citizens appeared before a Paris court on Tuesday for stealing rare editions of Russian literary classics from prestigious French libraries.

The publications included the works of 19th-century Russian author Alexander Pushkin.

The defendants, tried in France, are being prosecuted for criminal conspiracy and attempted theft. Some of them also face charges of stealing exhibited cultural works. They could face sentences of up to 10 years in prison.

This trial is the latest in a string of similar thefts carried out in recent years at libraries across Europe, suspected to be the work of an organized network. /CNA
