"The woman was in tears as she appeared at a Paris court, saying she feared for her children and for herself, according to AFP. She has been charged with complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing a crime. 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."
"The man was charged with organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing a crime, the Paris prosecutor said. The individual was known to the judicial authorities for previous theft offences, she said. He has been placed in pre-trial detention pending a hearing to take place in the coming days, the prosecutor added. Both individuals denied any involvement in the events, Beccuau said. The other three have been released without charge."
Two suspects, a 38-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man, were arrested, charged and remanded in custody in connection with the Louvre jewellery robbery. The woman faces charges of complicity in organised theft and criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing a crime and was detained on grounds of potential collusion and disturbance of public order; she appeared emotional and denies involvement. The man faces organised theft and criminal conspiracy charges, has prior theft-related contacts with the judicial authorities, and is in pre-trial detention awaiting a hearing. Three others arrested at the same time were released without charge. The robbery used power tools and took around seven minutes, with jewellery estimated at about €88m stolen.
