Two more suspects, a man and a woman arrested this week over the jewel heist at the Louvre, have been charged and remanded in custody, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
That brings to four the number of people now charged over the the robbery at the Paris museum.<\/p>\n
Jewels worth \u20ac87m were taken from the world’s most-visited museum on 19 October.<\/p>\n
The latest to be charged, a 38-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man, were arrested on Wednesday along with three other individuals, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said.<\/p>\n
The other three have now been released without charge.<\/p>\n
The woman was in tears as she appeared at a Paris court, saying she feared for her children and for herself, an AFP reporter witnessed.<\/p>\n
She has been charged with complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing a crime.<\/p>\n
The magistrate justified the detention of the woman, who lives in the French capital’s northern suburb of La Courneuve, on the grounds of a “risk of collusion” and “disturbance of public order”.<\/p>\n
The man was charged with organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing a crime, the Paris prosecutor said.<\/p>\n
The individual was known to the judicial authorities for previous theft offences, she said.<\/p>\n
He has been placed in pre-trial detention pending a hearing to take place in the coming days, the prosecutor added.<\/p>\n
“Both individuals denied any involvement in the events,” Ms Beccuau said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two more suspects, a man and a woman arrested this week over the jewel heist at the Louvre,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-116773","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
