The woman, 38, was charged with complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"promo-box\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__regular__qJJtA text-module__small__sph8i body-module__base__o--Cl body-module__small_body__gOmDf article-body-module__promo-box__hVl8h\"> Sign up  <a data-testid=\"Link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/two-more-charged-connection-with-louvre-jewel-heist-2025-11-01\/undefined?location=article-paragraph&amp;redirectUrl=%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Ftwo-more-charged-connection-with-louvre-jewel-heist-2025-11-01%2F\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__inherit-color__PhuPF text-module__inherit-font__1P1hv text-module__inherit-size__EyiQW link-module__link__INqxZ link-module__underline_default__-okuC\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Three other people who had been arrested on October 29 along with the man and the woman were freed without charge, the prosecutor&#8217;s office said.<\/p>\n<p>The two new suspects were brought before investigating judges and remain in pre-trial detention, the prosecutor said. Both deny involvement in the heist.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor gave no further details about them, but French media reported that the woman was from La Courneuve, a hardscrabble suburb north of Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor said last week that the first two suspects charged in the case had &#8220;partially admitted&#8221; their involvement.<\/p>\n<p>They included a 34-year-old Algerian who has lived in France since 2010 and was detained by police as he tried to board a flight to Algeria, and a 39-year-old who was already under judicial supervision in an aggravated theft case. Both live in Aubervilliers, a low-income neighbourhood in northern Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor said that investigations are continuing. So far, no trace has been found of the stolen jewels.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago, two hooded thieves used a movers&#8217; lift to reach a second-floor window, smashed the jewels&#8217; display cases using power tools, and fled on the back of scooters driven by two accomplices. The heist has sent shockwaves around the world as it exposed security flaws at the world&#8217;s most-visited museum.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"SignOff\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__regular__qJJtA text-module__extra_small__8Buss body-module__full_width__kCIGb body-module__extra_small_body__Bfz20 sign-off-module__text__LQAMP\">Reporting by Geert De Clercq<br \/>\nEditing by Peter Graff<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"Body\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__regular__qJJtA text-module__small__sph8i body-module__base__o--Cl body-module__small_body__gOmDf article-body-module__element__5eCce article-body-module__trust-badge__5mS3f\">Our Standards: <a data-testid=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thomsonreuters.com\/en\/about-us\/trust-principles.html\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__medium__2Rl30 text-module__small__sph8i link-module__link__INqxZ link-module__underline_default__-okuC link-module__with-icon__qlg76\">The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reutersagency.com\/en\/licensereuterscontent\/?utm_medium=rcom-article-media&amp;utm_campaign=rcom-rcp-lead\" target=\"_blank\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"button-module__link__A3sD0 button-module__secondary__70gBu button-module__round__QDFgq button-module__w_auto__Sem-F\" data-testid=\"LicenceContentButton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Purchase Licensing Rights<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two more charged over spectacular Louvre heist Four suspects, including one woman, remain in custody Two new suspects&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[595,365,362,363,364,82794,85474,366,82545,82535,82776,82553,82536,82532,82969,82777,82547,82539,82557,82537,82540,82554,82552,82551,83113,18,55396,85475,117,82520,82522,82527,45748,19,17,82798,721,83786,85473,82507,82970,82558,85472,83126,82518],"class_list":{"0":"post-157818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-art","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-artsanddesign","12":"tag-artsdesign","13":"tag-clj","14":"tag-crim","15":"tag-design","16":"tag-destafa","17":"tag-destcsa","18":"tag-destg","19":"tag-destgns","20":"tag-destlby","21":"tag-destouktpm","22":"tag-destouswdm","23":"tag-destpge","24":"tag-destpsc","25":"tag-destrast","26":"tag-destrbn","27":"tag-destreulb","28":"tag-destrnp","29":"tag-destrws","30":"tag-destrwsa","31":"tag-destucdptest","32":"tag-dli","33":"tag-eire","34":"tag-emea","35":"tag-ent","36":"tag-entertainment","37":"tag-europ","38":"tag-ezc","39":"tag-fr","40":"tag-gen","41":"tag-ie","42":"tag-ireland","43":"tag-judic","44":"tag-legal","45":"tag-lif","46":"tag-mtvid","47":"tag-news1","48":"tag-packageworld-news","49":"tag-reuters-legal","50":"tag-rulesworld-france","51":"tag-soci","52":"tag-weu"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115476914707918093","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
