Two more charged over Louvre jewellery heist
BBC ^ | November 2, 2025 | Jaroslav Lukiv and Hugh Schofield, BBC correspondent in Paris

A 38-year-old woman has been charged with complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to committing a crime. Separately, a man, aged 37, was charged with theft and criminal conspiracy. Both denied any involvement.

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...

Four men carried out the lightning-quick daylight theft.

Two of the alleged thieves -- who had been arrested earlier -- later admitted their involvement...

The magistrate later ruled that the woman -- who has not been named -- must stay in custody.

The 37-year-old man -- whose identity has also not been revealed -- was also ordered to stay in pre-trial detention. He is known to the French justice system for past robberies...

Three other people held earlier this week have been released without charge...

The suspects arrived with a stolen vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) via a balcony close to the River Seine. The men used a disc cutter to crack open display cases housing the jewellery.

Prosecutors said the thieves were inside for four minutes and made their escape on two scooters waiting outside at 09:38, before switching to cars.

Have any of the stolen objects been recovered?

I’m surprised as heck that they’re solving this so quickly!

Still no sign of the jewels, though?

They were likely on their way out of the country within an hour of the robbery and cut down to a different size in Antwerp within 12 hours

Nope, apart from the one that got dropped during the getaway.
