Two more charged over Louvre jewellery heist
Two more people have been charged over a theft at the Louvre Museum in Paris last month.
A 38-year-old woman, who has not been named, is being prosecuted for complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to committing a crime.
Another person was also charged on Saturday. Details are yet to be made public.
The two were detained earlier this week with three others. Two men who had previously been arrested were already charged with theft and criminal conspiracy after officials said they had “partially recognised” their involvement in the heist.
Jewels worth €88m were taken from the world’s most-visited museum on October 19.
Four men carried out the lightning-quick daylight theft.
Two of the alleged thieves who had been arrested earlier later admitted their involvement.
Another person arrested this week is thought to have taken part in the heist, while the fourth has not yet been caught.
