Several individuals implicated in a brazen jewel heist at the Louvre Museum in Paris have appeared before magistrates, marking a significant development in the high-profile case. The Paris public prosecutor’s office confirmed the court appearance on Saturday but did not disclose the exact number of suspects involved. The audacious theft, which occurred last month, saw thieves armed with power tools execute the robbery in broad daylight, making off with jewelry valued at an estimated $102 million in just seven minutes. French authorities initially apprehended two suspects, followed by the arrest of five additional individuals this week, including a key figure in the operation. The arrests were concentrated in and around Paris, notably in the northern suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis. The first two suspects, who partially confessed to the charges, face accusations of theft and criminal conspiracy. They are believed to have been the primary perpetrators who entered the museum while two accomplices waited outside. Despite the arrests, the stolen jewels remain unaccounted for, leaving investigators to continue their search for the missing loot.
