Thieves have broken into the home of actor Julien Enthoven, brother of philosopher Raphael Enthoven and stolen intimate pictures and video of Carla Bruni dating from Raphael’s affair with France’s First Lady.

Police believe the nude pictures of Bruni will be sold or posted on the web. Sources say the thieves knew exactly what they were looking for and burglaries are rare where Julien Enthoven resides, which I’m sure will fan some conspiracy theory fires.

Last year nude pictures of Carla Bruni were released in England just prior to her making an official visit there; these latest photos aren’t related.
