"France on Friday charged the fourth alleged member of a four-person gang arrested over last month's spectacular jewel heist at the Louvre, prosecutors said. On October 19th, the gang raided the world's most-visited art museum in broad daylight, taking just seven minutes to steal jewellery worth an estimated $102 million before fleeing on scooters. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau described the fourth suspect as a 39-year-old man born in the working-class Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis."
""Already convicted six times, this man was known to courts for various offences, such as pimping, driving without a licence, and receiving stolen goods," Beccuau said in a statement. The four suspects believed to have carried out the robbery have now been arrested and charged. They have been charged with organised theft and criminal conspiracy. The stolen jewellery is still missing."
A four-person gang carried out a daylight raid at the Louvre on October 19, stealing jewellery estimated at $102 million and fleeing on scooters after seven minutes. A fourth suspect, a 39-year-old man from Seine-Saint-Denis with six prior convictions, was charged in relation to the robbery. The four suspects have been arrested and face charges of organised theft and criminal conspiracy. Two men entered the Apollo Gallery while two others remained outside and all fled together. A 38-year-old woman linked as a partner of one suspect is suspected of complicity and has been released on bail. The stolen jewellery remains missing.
