UPDATE: Two suspects have been formally charged in the high-profile Louvre Museum jewelry heist that occurred on October 19, 2023. The Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed the charges against the two individuals, aged 37 and 38, who both deny any involvement in the audacious robbery that netted thieves $102 million worth of jewelry.
The latest developments come as authorities intensify their investigation into the brazen theft that unfolded in just seven minutes. This shocking incident, which involved four masked assailants, has triggered a national outcry and a sweeping manhunt across France.
